Hello,
The leaves on our broccoli and cabbage
are some of the largest I have ever seen. They are shading the marigolds that
we put in around the edge of the garden. Two of marigolds have been moved, and
I wonder if more should follow.
Leroy learned that we have marble
sized tomatoes on the one small plant. One of the tomatoes that we planted by
the house has been eaten off to within an inch of the ground. Why squirrels
would like them is a mystery, but I am blaming the squirrels, certainly the dog
next door would not like them.
Most of the flower seeds that I keep
for four years did not sprout. Such a waste of effort hanging on to them, as if
they were treasures. Really it did not
take much effort as they were in an envelope and I forgot about them.
This morning Leroy was dressed in his
bike riding clothes, but he kept an eye on the sky. Before he left he even
turned on the TV to check their weather news. As he was still listening and considering,
it started to rain making all decisions for him. Now of course it is dry. Even this
morning if he could have waited an hour it would have been fine.
Surely the garden will be in good
shape for some days to come. For some reason I have not been to the community
garden to pull some weeds that are surely establishing settlers rights. Leroy did
not go this week either, because he had a mole taken off his back and took it a
bit easy for a day. He feels good now, but he tells me that it itches.
