Garden Notes
The barest touch of Spring in the garden.
I dehydrated the Korean peppers yesterday – the kitchen smelled lovely. About fourteen peppers gave me a about a pint jar’s worth of dried shards. (Plus a little room for a desiccant pack – we’re paranoid.) We figure we’ll grind on demand. Not bad considering my yield this year wasn’t great. I’ve got basil
I have two khuri squash (one is hiding behind the one you can see here). And of course, they’re hanging in thin air where I’m going to have to support them as they get heavier. So much for trying to get a trellis. Everything else in the side garden is chugging along for the moment.

I skipped the gym on Wednesday so I could clean up the side garden – it got away from me in the fall, due to the early snow in November. And it had continued so cool so far this spring that I hadn’t wanted to disturb anything that might be overwintering. But we seem
Here’s what the garden looked like on Saturday, when I dragged the herb pots out of the garage. I contemplated a little clean up, but it’s been fairly cool still, so I don’t want to throw out something that’s overwintering. I took today off to go renew my license. Good thing that was my
