Another Busy Day!
Jun 16th, 2008 by admin
I don’t know what I’ll do when I don’t have busy days, but for now they are busy and I am satisfied. I planted 4 more tomatoes today. 2 Brandywine and two German. I cut kohlrabi. Kolhrabi is a brassica like broccoli and cabbage, but it is very mild tasting. You can cook it or eat it raw or slice it thinly and fry for chips. We like it raw with a sour cream dill sauce.
I weeded today too but there weren’t very many weeds. I am glad for that! I put the thyme and basil in a big pot and added one big thyme plant to a really big pot of sage. I’m sort of hoping that I can bring some of those pots in this winter.
The larkspur is about done. It was so pretty while it was blooming vigorously. This is what larkspur looks like…
I would like to set out a geranium and some coreopsis today, too. The most important chore today though is going to be to rake and clean out all the sticks and debris from around the back of the house and deck. Sarah has raked, Sam has picked up…..but I haven’t checked their work yet, so we’ll see how much more work there is to do presently.
I made pizza margarhita for lunch using homemade pesto, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzerella cheese, it was delicious!
Back to the garden! 
I love reading about your days. I love the larkspur. How did the kids do on the raking job? You’re a good mama to check their work.
Love, Wardeh
They actually did a great job
I was very proud of them.
The poor larkspur is on its way out, I should have planted more.
Love
