Leroy and I planted some early crops
in our new community garden spot. There were a lot of grass roots along with
some rocks in there. Our volunteer who tiled had a hard job. Leroy lucked out
by having his leg not be quite healed so someone else did it. While we were
there I went over to the old garden spot which has a mountain of dirt on it. Last
year we had transplanted some rhubarb there. It is growing nicely this year so I
picked some of it because we never know when machines will came to tackle the
mountain. Chances are good that the rhubarb will get run over in the process. We
will try to transplant it once more. There was one arugula plant that was
growing quite nicely the last time I looked at that garden. Even though it was
going to seed already I picked quite a lot of it. The winter onions are also in
great shape. The machines did not run over their home or they just could
survive. At any rate I picked one of them and it was quite tasty. Some of them
will be moved to the new garden spot. I am hoping that lamb’s quarters in a bit
more time.
I like to take the screens off the
windows for the winter. I like looking out the clear glass. It has gotten hot
so suddenly. Both of us are hesitant to open the windows in the morning to let
in the cool night air. I did put on two screens earlier and today we got out
eight more. That leaves only two more to get out. I will also wash the windows
before I get out the last two screens.
I try not to work on Sunday, but this
was the exception for a while. Leroy helped too and that made it all move along
faster than when I work alone.
