...Because it was sunny! Well, partly sunny. But with all the rain we've had, that's a big deal! So Hubbyman mowed, I pulled the radishes and thinned out the lettuce, chard, and spinach. I also began thinning the kale and broccoli, but didn't go whole hog on it yet. What else... Well, I can't remember. But here are some pictures. Enjoy!

| Okay, I really have no idea what's going on with the sage. It looks awful. My best guess is that it's been too wet and too cold. I think sage likes things on the dry side. I think. Anyway, hopefully it will get a little better as things heat up. |
 |
| Oh yeah! Gosh, my memory is so bad these days. I cut the onions down. Hopefully they will grow back, but if it's been too wet for them, they might just croak. Who knows. |
 |
| Gosh, mint is beautiful. |
 |
| Downside of Baggins is that I keep forgetting about it. But it seems to be doing okay, even though the dirt is lousy and it's settled a lot, making for a very warm environment. And here I planted spinach in it. Hilarious. |
 |
| Aww, they're holding hands! So cute! They are beginning to climb each other, which is what I was expecting. I'm training some towards the trellis now. Excited! I love watching pea vines grow and climb. |
 |
| Must be love... |
 |
| Patio spread. |
 |
| Oh yeah! The other thing I did! That memory thing again. Sheesh. Anyway, I made a harvesting apron thingy. Last year I was using a metal bowl, and in the sun, I was kind of cooking the veggies right there as I was picking them. Ah, the follies of youth... |
 |
| I made it out of an old, never used tote I bought in DC back in 2000, and the drawstring from a pair of never used jammies. I think they call that repurposing. I don't think you could call this upcycling. It's more like samecycling. Not a lot of pretty here. But plenty of function! I'm all about the function. Pretty is for losers. (Haha, kidding. Pretty is great.) |
The end.
