I've been super busy around here and I'm loving it. The only problem is that at night I'm over-tired and so sore I can't sleep! But, hard work is not a bad thing!
My garden is progressing right along and I am quite pleased. I am calling it my recycled garden or my friendship garden, for without each it would not be doing as well as it is. I've been fortunate to have my friends, Matt & Jacy, give me some seedlings and that sure gives the garden an instant perk up! Nothing like planting seedlings and seeing instant progress.
I've been selling at the local Farmer's Market the last 2 Wednesdays and I've been pleased. I've had eggs, kale, leaf and head lettuce, bok choy and fennel. Yesterday I picked 25 lbs of garlic scapes that a neighbor is growing and I sold some of them. Garlic scape pesto is AWESOME. Try it! I also sold some of my friend's goat milk soap as well as some of my yarn. I've had a lot of fun doing it.
In addition to all of that, I got a call from the local Post Office. Their question was, "Would you like some more chicks?" Who me?  Of course! So I asked what happened. It seems as though someone ordered 25 chicks and never picked them up. I had to wait until closing to pick them up, but I added them to my batch here at home. One had died at the PO and 4 more died here within a short time, but the rest are all doing fine. They had just gone too long without food. The man at the PO gave them water. I told him if it ever happens again, call me and I will bring them some food!
So, there you have a little update of my crazy life! |
