Happy Belated Birthday to
gokumew2!!
I should be working on house stuff, but it is so hard when the construction people are outside being noisy and my house is a crisp 57 degrees. I was able to get it up to 58 (and possibly a little warmer near it) with the space heater earlier, but it just does not encourage one to want to do more than cuddle beneath the covers.
I really want to work on the garden and get some more things planted but with random bits of house crashing down every so often, I'm not so sure I want to be in the front yard right now. I might put it off until the week end simply for safety. I got way too much garlic and I plan to start on a winter garden in one of the boxes. At the moment, it will mostly consist of arugula (please grow this time!) cauliflower, spinach, carrots and maybe some radish. All of which seem to grow well in colder temperatures and with the cold frame should really do well. Fortunately, as Fall and Winter comes, that one plot gets lovely sunshine! I have a ton of arugula seedlings, I am just waiting for them to do more and show me they want to grow. I am considering getting more fertilizer to help them along. Tomorrow, I am hoping to get up early to go to Costco (to buy yeast) and go to the Larchmont Farmer's Market. I'm supposed to be looking into how one makes sourdough bread with
yanchamonkey, but making some yeasted things first will be nice since it is way easier. lol
