Since I have been grounded from travel this week due to inadequate after hours child care status, I have had a lot of time to enjoy the waning days of Indian summer and the burgeoning of fall all the while getting a lot of badly needed office work done. Being grounded rocks.
Today I spent almost 3 hours rooting out big chunks of weeds and spent summer vegetable plants from the main garden. I saw a black widow spider and discussed how to tell the difference between a venomous and non-venomous snake while on the phone with a New England friend. Gratified in my work done, I ventured to the fav garden store to supplement the fall garden. Lettuces already in the works, I'm going to try some rainbow swiss chard, broccoli and cauliflower, and some beets - only 2 each of the last 3 items. Last years cauliflower grew to the size of a peach and then just quit on us. Beets - well I am just skeptical.
Anyhoo, just get yer-selves ready for next week's preview pics. And I am still waiting on recipes, folks. Let's go for something with the swiss chard or beets. I think I can figure out the rest.
