I harvested a bunch of garlic yesterday, hoping to find two “market-worthy” ones to submit to the Fair.<\/p>
Meanwhile, I’ve been surveying the veg gardens for other likely entries, and discovered\u00a0our first cucumbers.<\/p>
I submitted a “Garden Basket” of at least 6 home-grown fruits and vegetables: cuke, garlic, rhubarb, tiny cabbage, tiny strawberries, peas, and lettuce. \u00a0Added some herbs and celery flowers for prettiness.<\/p>
Ron cleaned the grill today – big job – and the bird bath. \u00a0I took care of changing sheets and the transfer station run, including all the trimmed branches from yesterday. \u00a0Was pretty painless; then again, I like the transfer station, especially the “wild” compost area.<\/p>
On the way home, stopped off at Attaquin Acres (sale) and got a couple of six packs to refresh the window boxes.<\/p>
Ron did a big shop yesterday which made me mad until I saw that he saved 25%! \u00a0We like Shaws.<\/p>
Made a nice brunch of\u00a0chicken sausage and garlic\/tomato\/cheese eggs and turkey chili and corn for supper. \u00a0Couldn’t find\u00a0chili powder, used Berbere spices instead, a quite acceptable substitute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
