starting seeds and more seeds

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!!

    Hope 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.

    I've got a good recipe for chard if you want it.

    And yes, anytime one has the urge to make lace one should make some lace.
