I harvested a bunch of garlic yesterday, hoping to find two “market-worthy” ones to submit to the Fair.
Meanwhile, I’ve been surveying the veg gardens for other likely entries, and discovered our first cucumbers.
I submitted a “Garden Basket” of at least 6 home-grown fruits and vegetables: cuke, garlic, rhubarb, tiny cabbage, tiny strawberries, peas, and lettuce. Added some herbs and celery flowers for prettiness.
Ron cleaned the grill today – big job – and the bird bath. I took care of changing sheets and the transfer station run, including all the trimmed branches from yesterday. Was pretty painless; then again, I like the transfer station, especially the “wild” compost area.
On the way home, stopped off at Attaquin Acres (sale) and got a couple of six packs to refresh the window boxes.
Ron did a big shop yesterday which made me mad until I saw that he saved 25%! We like Shaws.
Made a nice brunch of chicken sausage and garlic/tomato/cheese eggs and turkey chili and corn for supper. Couldn’t find chili powder, used Berbere spices instead, a quite acceptable substitute.
