[valarltd]

Phase 2 accomplished

Winesap apple tree planted
Reliant peach tree planted. It has two little blossoms on it! I may get peaches this year!
Blueberries watered. (there are blossoms!)

Box planted with
8 tomatoes: 4 beefsteak, 4 Brandywine
16 carrots, Danvers
A lettuce patch
A spinach patch
4 heads lettuce
4 Straight Eight Cucumbers
and 2 birdhouse gourds

3x6 plot planted with
48 Sugar Dots corn
24 Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans
and 4 Black Beauty Zucchini

Dollface blessed each square as we planted it with a spiral, a star or the triple moon.
We prayed over the whole shebang. Like the moon phase and moon sign, we'll take any help we can get.

Active in greenhouse:
Jumbo canteloupe
Sugar Baby Watermelon
Clemson Spineless Okra
Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin (may have to replant in July)

No rhubarb or gooseberries to be had on this side of the river.
Will call around Memphis tomorrow.
Linehaul was late and we swapped instead of slipped so I ran late all day.

My gooseberry pie won't be like grandma's. She always picked them green. They're supposed to turn pink before you pick.

But you know that when I get them planted and get a pie made, it's coming with us to the city, or turning up on the table at July 4 or Thanksgiving.

I'm hoping to be able to tell Dad "Don't go to the store until we get there! We have food!" and show up with tomatoes, corn, greenbeans and cucumbers in vinegar and a watermelon and a chocolate zucchini cake.

This is our father you know. He won't feel secure unless there is enough to feed the seventh fleet.


I look forward to the visit whether or not you have stuff from the garden. I got spoiled seeing you all a number of times last year.

I know. I know. He seemed to appreciate the coconut pie last year.

But yes, definitely looking forward to the visit.

Mom said she doesn't know much about you, but she knows you adore the kids. And since it's mutual, you must be all right.

I do adore the kids, and you and Mudd are okay too :P

I enjoyed seeing your mom. And the kids just like me because I am indulgent and I can semi speak their language.
