Hello again!
No, I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth. 
Just been a little busy.
We got the daughter graduated (whew!), the boys are doing their band thing every day, and we’ve been doing a lot of discussion about the wedding, which is in mid-July. Fortunately my daughter has found a place she really likes, and I’m going to take a look at it on Friday and give them the down payment.
(things are sure more expensive these days than 20 years ago when I got married!)
But enough with that. Let’s talk about garden stuff!
Planted more tomato plants since we last talked, and received another grapevine, strawberry plant, and cucumber plant (all from the co-op). I still need to plant those.
Harvested some snow peas (they’re starting to slow down; I got around four quarts from the yard and a half by two feet I planted, which isn’t bad), some excellent strawberries, a carrot, three smallish onions (this variety is about the size of an egg), some salad greens, and lots of weeds for the bunnies.
Been drying more weeds and stacking them along one side of my back patio where I keep the extra bunny bins. Also drying rose petals and leaves to crunch up and add to the rabbit feed. It’s really looking pretty.
I finally got the foundation dug for the water barrel base, and have put in 50# of gravel, which is just a drop in the bucket of what needs to go there. Little by little is how I work; dragging one 50# bag across the yard tires me out for a good part of the day. I got my husband to bring a couple bags over to where the base is — which is good, since dragging them is the worst part. But that tires him out too. What a couple of gimps we are!
Also been working on the Buy Fresh Buy Local blog, updated it and added a post about local food. And I learned something about onions!
So the last week has been pretty productive.
What have you been up to?
