the garden’s moving along but winter is coming!

We didn’t need anything this week but cleared out leftover lettuce so starting next week, until further notice, all lettuce will be home grown. May still be a bit too early to pull spinach but it is growing quickly now. But, now the weatherman says winter is coming! Well, not really but 2 days in the high 20s at night and low 40s in the day are rather odd past tax day. Will have to pull small pots into the garage and cover the big ones just to be safe.

Glad I didn’t plant the new herbs in the garden but after the next freeze I think it will be time.

We did get a visit from our Jennifer, Ron, Viola and Cameron this weekend. They camped on the screen porch and had a good time. It’s a good change from a tent when it’s raining like when they got here but by the next time they get here things should be back to normal! We’ll all be fully vaccinated so they will get to move back into the house without fear that any of us will kill the other through infection.

Jane invited a chef she knows well to Moondance Farm on Friday and had a bit of a party. He made pizza to order using his mobile pizza ovens. They were great! I’ll get more details and update this post with them because he’s a great choice for a party in the future.

Missed a week but took the pictures

It was Kathy’s birthday last weekend and the Masters was on so I didn’t focus on the site. After a year of COVID it was nice to watch a Masters on CBS and have some actual fans there. First time there’s even been a Japanese winner. Congratulations Hideki Matsuyama! Our cat was sleeping so his little friends got to watch the show.

Birthdays are pretty simple when you can’t go anywhere. A card, a cake and some flowers but it’s the thought that counts.

The garden is continuing to grow in. Pulled some lettuce leaves for burgers and salads will start in the next couple of weeks.

Even the russet potatoes are out of the ground now. The red will need to be covered up some next weekend. Hope they’re done before we leave for Sanibel.
