Perk-up soil drench and showtime for insect protection this morning.  Got up too late to do the brix blaster and qualify.  Tomorrow.  As the gardening season moves toward its end, I feel less urgency.  We’re on top of the tasks right now; we’ve already got a substantial harvest in and preserved.

BTW:  A lot of this gardening info is for my reference next year and in years to come so I apologize if it seems repetitive.

Cut down the broccoli this morning and picked a few more tomatoes.  We have 17 pints of tomatoes canned already with many more on the vine.

Kate’s taking advantage of her birthday present this morning and learning how to use the long arm quilter, a three-hour, one-on-one class.  When she gets the quilting side of quilting down, she’ll be able to take a project from start to finish.  Many can’t because the long-arm quilters are expensive take up a lot of space.
