robbyWe've been humping at work the last few days to get a big order out. It shipped this afternoon, and surprisingly, I still feel physically good after all that work. Most everything was already partially boxed by today, so I was able to lift mostly with the forklift, and that made a huge difference.
The cat's feeling good as well, and she has suddenly decided that she wants to go out again. It
makes all the extraordinary measures I've been taking for her worthwhile, when I clearly see she's having a good quality of life.
My ace tomato plant is ripening a big batch of fruit that I'll have to can this weekend, and the four brandywine tomato plants are doing fine now, with lots of little developing tomatoes. I'm going to pull out one of the seven lettuce varieties, I think it's called red russian kale. Even the young leaves are tough and bitter, and maybe some people like it, but not me. I still have plenty of the other varieties, and I want to make room to plant more green onions and maybe iceberg lettuce for the fall and winter. I found a planting calendar for this region, and will gradually start planting cool weather vegetables.
My sister is coming over Sunday to see the new house, so I'll have to do some cleaning up. It's not too terrible, but I especially want to clean the bathrooms.
***********************************************************************************
Editors note: Everyone seemed to enjoy the visit, and much later our hero managed to plant a short row of green onion seeds. The squash are continuing to spread out past the confines of their allotted space and are incredible thirsty for more and more water. The vegetable garden is quite impressive, my niece tasted all the lettuce varieties and took some peppers and squash to eat, and some squash seeds for her garden. One benefit of the squash is how the flowers draw bees into the garden. This morning I was picking squash late, and had to back off because of the angry buzzing. I still haven't been stung, though
