Juggling

You know, my life often feels like a juggling act. Right now, I am juggling people and things around just so I can get out and PLANT!

We lost our hoop house and our greenhouse split down the middle the other night in a terrible windstorm. Let's not forget the glass screen door that shattered during nature's attack of the Pacific Norhtwest. We had so much going on that in the midst of it all...we left. Well, the greenhouse now resembles "Frankenstine"...never underestimate the power of the almighty duct tape! Travis went out and re-set the hoop house with ease, but the tomatoes did take a beating. And, it looks like a fine excuse to finally get that new screen door that we have been wanting.

So far, we have too many varieties of lettuce in the garden to count, peas that are flowering, spinach that bolted and is not harvestable, lovely garlic, 65 tomato plants in the ground, joi choi, cabbage (red and green), 5 different kinds of potatoes, cabbage, beets that are almost ready, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, sickly cukes (it's so cold), and lastly radishes all in the wonderful soil tonight. Tomorrow we will hopefully get to plant beans and corn!!!

For market on Saturday we will have:

dahlia tubers! 2 for $2
lettuce
radishes?
Paige's painted rocks
beets?

Well, that is all for tonight. You know what they say...the early bird catches the worm (eww)!

Now don't forget the pictures -- everybody loves new pictures. Okay, don't yell at me, don't throw dirt! I wont add anything to your to do list, just give the camera to the kids.
