The flood cannot be stopped, only redirected

Old Business First.



















as you can see, the nascent perrenial sanctuary is taking off! It will be a shame to part with the cheer when it comes time to move them into their permanent home in our yard. I will certainly have to fill the empty spots in the window. Nothing much to report on the veggie front, I'm still waiting on the shipment from moose tubers, by schedule, I should have started chitting today. A week or so shouldnt really mess with things in the long run. I do have carrot seed to start tonight.


On to new business...

My recent agricultural persuits have prompted my father to begin a more expanded gardening program this year. Last year he had a couple tomato bushes and a few herbs, but I found out last night he is adding another bed and going to try spinache, lettuce, and my favorite: peas. I convinced him to try some heirloom varieties, and I know as soon as he opens up that first pod, he'll be hooked for life.
