Independence Days Update

June 12, 2008

I don’t have a lot to update.

You can view Sharon’s update and many others in the comment section here.

Planting – I did finally plant my cilantro babies, and I am letting some go to seed for next year.

cilantro blooms aren’t they pretty? delicate like.

Harvesting - I am still harvesting the same things from last update…OH yeah, I harvested some pitiful excuse called garlic.

I learned something new..don’t plant garlic in the same place next year!

Cook something new and manage reserves -Trying to use up my crabapple jelly from last year I added vinegar to some of it and found out it made a nice salad dressing.

Squash and cucumber are in bloom. Tomatoes and potatoes are getting ready to bloom.

Everything is a little late this year because of the weird weather we had April/May.

Still weeding and watering the gardens and trying to remember to throw stuff on the compost “heap”. I say “heap” because hubby is too covered up right now to build a bin.

Maybe I need to learn some hammer skills?

    We just built a three-sided bin and just throw it in the open end. This makes is easy to turn and keeps it all in a neat little place. I’m pretty lazy about turning it, but just love to dig deep into to bottom and get that “real” dirt every spring.

    hey jancd that is a good way to do it. I probably will be slack turning the stuff too but only time will tell.

    Very cool what you did with the crabapple jelly! Now that’s thinking out of the box :) .

What Spice Are You

You Are Cilantro

The bad news is that
there are some people
who can't stand you.
The good news is that
most people love you more
than anything else in the world.
You are distinct, unusual, fresh,
and very controversial.
And you wouldn't have it
any other way.
