Race to Plant - Summer is Here (for a limited time only!)


If it wants planting, now's the time. If it needs waterproofing, now's the time.

Today was a lovely day in the garden, at puttering speed. Sunny, 70, and bloody  windy (of course). It's dawned that the growing season is short, and if the seeds aren't in the ground soon, they're not getting in the ground. So, containers of lettuce & marigolds were planted. Cosmos went in. Marigolds were re-planted where they didn't start. The area by the garage was cleaned up, the workbench that had been there since winter went into the shed as a nice shelf. 

Tomatoes are forming. There are some little green ones on the Early Girls, and blossoms showing.

Raspberries are showing, and the bees are busy working on them.

Green strawberries are showing up. Not ready yet, but soon.

Yesterday was a bit more active - 6-mile run, recovering from last week's Dam to DSM Half Marathon in Des Moines. Involved a canoe paddle with the kid on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. (A horrible place, overwhelmed with people, but not once you got on the water. Lovely then.)

More doing, less typing. Time and motion and all that.

Stairway Complete; Fruit & Vegetable Season Begins

Just one day's haul of raspberries The garden is truly coming into its own. There's a certain point in the spring when you think, "Nah, we're never getting anything." Well, we're past that point now. Kiki made white chocolate raspberry scones with these. She also made beet-burgers (or, really, more beet sloppy Joe's): But the big news is that a major project - the stairway from the shed to the garage - is finally complete, and I can die happy.

In which I magically make 5 pounds of tomatoes disappear

 And made a very successful batch of ketchup.  Or catsup. The cats were up as I began the messiest of messy tasks, but they grew weary and abandoned me to my red nightmare. If you want to give up most of your morning while handling many containers of very threatening red stuff, make your own condiment!  I had planned to snap a photo of the process but where to even pause and do so? There was no respite once it began. So, all I have in what is left of the final result. Sorry. Terrible let down, really.  As for the artistry of the process, let my words be your eyes... Imagine- a colander heaping over with 5 pounds (about) of bright red tomatoes and three ripe plums. See the onion and garlic gently cooking in olive oil in the bottom of my bright red Dansk enameled pot? Gaze as the tomatoes get added once they have been coarsely chopped. They cook for 15 minutes until all the small cherry tomatoes have burst and the very full pot is bubbling -suddenly, in go the plums! They too, have been

Trains, Canoes, and Automobiles

Kiki and I just returned from a round trip on the Amtrak to Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula and purchased a 2021 Nissan Leaf.  The Olympic Peninsula is stunning. The photo above is not enhanced or put through any filters. We enjoyed a weird day tour in a Mercedes mini-bus with our guide Mei and a nine other folks. It was a pretty cool bilingual tour (Mandarin & English, in that order). Also fun and amazing was the Chihuli Garden and Glass , Monorail to the Space Needle.  Seattle itself is just another urban toilet. I'm sure there are reasons why every large conglomeration of humans turns into a foul, inhuman canyon full of visible wealth disparities and panhandling junkies. That vexed feeling of having to shut off your humanity and walk past your fellow human beings or be taken advantage of and grifted and lied to is incredibly frustrating. We do know how to solve this, but I guess that society has decided to give billionaires more tax breaks on their private jets instead. Sp
