Finished spraying. As the crops come in, the amount of spray needed diminishes. Today I really only needed the reproductive spray because the remaining vegetables are mostly in that category: tomatoes, ground cherries, egg plants, cucumbers, peppers, carrots. Granted there are a few beets, some chard and the leeks yet to harvest but they seem substantial already. They also benefit from the showtime, nutrient drenches and the enthuse that I will spray on Saturday morning.
Kate roasted the broccoli and froze it. She’s also making pickles today, cucumber and onion. She’s in back to the land, earth mother mode and has been for several weeks. She consults her canning, pickling, drying, freezing books like grimoires from calico clad wise women of the rural Midwest. And does likewise, tweaking the recipes when she wants.
