Catching Up
Summer finally arrived last month. We have three sets of visitors to our "Errant Loon Lodge" so far and we took a week to visit Missoula, Montana (road trip!).
In between the garden has been taking some time. And we are starting to enjoy some harvesting for the effort. The salad greens have been doing really well and some of the plants our looking a bit tired. So I'll be planting some new seeds while there is time for them to come up. The peas decided to produce after all. There is a small bowl in the fridge now. We tasted the fava beans today but it's still a bit early. Our rhubarb continues to produce and a new batch of rhubarb sauce will be in the works soon. The blueberries are late to ripen and our new plants have a few to ripen. The strawberries are going good and the small space will contribute to breakfast tomorrow. The greenhouse cucumbers are flowering and I'll see how this experiment goes. It was 97 in the greenhouse today. But the cukes seem to like it just fine. Our beans hare climbing and I expect to see some protein pretty soon. The tomato plants (those that are left) have a few green specimens and we have some hope. I dug up some potatoes today and looking forward to some summer potato salad.
Had a wonderful time at our local bookstore (Wy'east Book Shoppe and Art Gallery) tonight with Garth Stein making a visit. He is the author of The Art of Racing in the Rain and two other novels, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets and Raven Stole the Moon. I got a couple of signed books for gifts.
Some stories of interest have passed through and around the laptop and some may make some good postings. No reason to post about the debt ceiling/budget fiasco. No reason to post about the revived DB Cooper saga. No reason to post about our local sports teams. No rain to post about. Everything is just perfect.
