Dinner Time

Another salad is the focus of tonight's meal.  The lettuce is still bountiful and we are mostly through our second sowing of arugula with a third on the way.  Tonight's salad will feature beets, boiled and chopped.  We've begun harvesting the broccoli as of tonight.

Picking tonight's meal we noticed the raspberry crop coming in.  Charlotte's work of thinning the canes has (according to the neighbors) enabled a bumper crop.

The compost bin has found a home and the giant pile of decomposing sod has been removed from the "basketball court".  We will be beautifying the place tomorrow evening because we will be visited by a neighborhood garden tour on Saturday.  
 
I've organized a room in the basement for our continued planting operation.  Plus, I am still awaiting word on the possibility of manning a booth for two hours during the Ashmont Farmer's Market (we really need to find a good home for our kale).

The rain has stopped and the sun begins to shine again and I am very appreciative of the opportunity to do all of this.

  1. I wish I had gotten to try some of the lettuce when I was there. That's so exciting about the garden tour and the farmer's market booth. You're a real farmer now, Jonathan.
