Gathering No Moss
Tue Jun 04 2013

Having a very productive day today. I weeded the potato patch and mulched between the rows with some of the moldy hay that S. gave me from her barn. And then spread some more around the crookneck squash hills. I had to stop there though because it was getting very warm. We are going to be in the low 90's all week according to the weather people. We are all trying to get used to it. Then I disemboweled my closet and spread my knitted items all over the place and began freshening them up and pricing the new ones in anticipation of the first market of the year this Thursday.  I am waiting for two items to dry that I felted just this morning, then I may take a group shot just for historical reference. After lunch I washed the Cube. Old Suzie has been accumulating tree sap while resting in the shade of either the oak trees or the flowering plum tree. I couldn't see out of the windshield and decided something must be done about it. Driving up and down our dirt country lane almost every day doesn't help either. She's always got dust on her fanny these days. If I really get ambitious, I'm going to fire up the lawn mower and mow around the garden. I find that I am indulging in a fair amount of OCD behavior with the garden. I want it to be all weeded and tidy. Though to be sure, the mulch I have to put around should help keep the weeds at bay. I can't do it all in one day though, as much as I would like to. Anyhoo.. I leave you with what I did with the lettuce and strawberries and egg I gathered yesterday. Dinner   I added some carrot, feta, and avocado and took care of it one forkfull at a time. :-)

    Even OCD tendencies need a home and the garden is a great place to tun them loose. Hardly anything is prettier than a well tended garden. ;)

    I agree with Mamallama, you picked the perfect plate to display your fine edibles. What happened to the peas? They go well in salad as well and would have looked pretty in the mix... or did you eat them already?

    Potatoes - I want to grow. Help! How do I go about it? I remember back when we did it but I can't remember. Scary, isn't it? That salad loos delish, something to be savored one forkful at a time.
