this will post tomorrow TUESDAY....
but i am typing it up tonight monday
i have been planting lettuces and chards and spinaches
and marigolds!
and nasturtium
i accidently over planted chard.........
mixed in with lettuce from last years saved seeds
don't ask..........................
but i think i should have enough chard to feed the entire block and a small herd of goats
bernie brought the new van home today
his company gave it to him
i haven't seen it yet
i should have gone out and looked huh?
maybe tomorrow
i canned today
i had to recan pickles so that was done
and i fixed the discoloration in the dishwasher
hung laundry
stoked the stove
you know......... stuff
i realized i didn't order enough lettuces
it's always something huh?
i am trying to find a good cranberry, and the elderberry
i would like three of each to start
and maybe two more blueberries.........
i REALLY wish i could get a dwarf necterine, dwarf pear, and pie cherry
and i missed the deadline for fedco trees
i am going to start a new hat i think
plum and light gray for the new winter coat that i got on sale
and then
i think i need to knit some lace
what do you all think?
ok since we made the decision to stay here until the depression is over,
we also decided to put in a greenhouse
i could use the space
now THAT will be put on the back as a lean to
and i am seriously thinking of flinching some of the early pen framing........
to grow lettuces in
on the deck..................
we don't need a table do we?
not on the deck right?
Sounds good. You are getting into the gardening spirit again. A greenhouse eh? Now I'm jealous!!
ReplyDeleteHope the new van works out well for you both. After the stories about the old one, you were long overdue for this.

I found true dwarfs at Home Depot this week. They might show up in your area soon. I got two dwarf pears to add to my fruit trees. But they only had Bartlett and Keiffer down here.
ReplyDeleteI've got a good recipe for chard if you want it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, anytime one has the urge to make lace one should make some lace.
