Ordered some more garlic from Seed Savers. \u00a0Drying the small garlic slices preserves the garlic volatiles and keeps the garlic from rotting. \u00a0Good deal. \u00a0We’ll make more next year. \u00a0Kate’s going to try drying leeks, too. \u00a0We have an abundance of leeks. \u00a0I was a bit over eager when I hit the garden store in May. \u00a0Leek\/tomato soup, leek\/potato soup, more chicken pot pies, some chicken noodle soup.<\/p>\n
Crushed the Colorado beetles. \u00a0Seems harsh. \u00a0Felt harsh. \u00a0But gardening demands choosing sides. \u00a0For the plants and against their attackers. \u00a0This is what I’ve called previously switching over to Mr. MacGregor. \u00a0There are, though, limits. \u00a0At least for me. \u00a0For instance, I will not go to pesticides, so if an infestation overcomes my manual or less lethal intervention, so be it.<\/p>\n
Also picked our entire 6 apple Zestar crop today. \u00a0Apples are a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n
All but the last chapter of Missing now summarized and another 6 verses of Philemon and Baucis done. \u00a0A good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
