As the garlic moon wanes, the leaves of the garlic plants begin to brown from the bottom up.\u00a0 When half of them are brown, I’ll pull a couple to see how they’re progressing.\u00a0 I plant more garlic than we use; for some reason it appeals to me as a crop.\u00a0 Partly because you plant it in the fall and harvest it in the summer.\u00a0 A contrarian.<\/p>\n
A Latin day today, perhaps tomorrow, too, after I see to the queen excluders in the colonies from which I removed them this weekend. I’m looking for movement of the workers up into the honey supers, starting to lay in honey there rather than in the hive boxes.<\/p>\n
Into the city tonight to discuss the slightly revised issue selection process for the 2012 legislature.\u00a0 We’re moving up our process by a month to allow for better campaign planning, gathering of allies.<\/p>\n
My exercise commitment, once rock solid, has slipped in these past three weeks with many evening meetings.\u00a0 I’m going to shift my workouts to the morning, see if I can get a new rhythm established.<\/p>\n
At the end of July my sister Mary will travel here from Athens, where she gives a paper, then reverse field back through London to Singapore.\u00a0 My cousin Diane, who stood up for me when Kate and I got married, also, by chance, will be in town for another reason, so we’ll have a Keaton and an Ellis reunion right here in Andover, star of the northern burbs.\u00a0 Diane lives in San Francisco where she churns out a weekly newsletter, highly regarded, on the pulp and paper industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
