Garden Update

Filed under: garden — bradandjanie @ 2:00 pm

The backyard is looking a little overgrown, but I guess that’s better than undergrown.

A squash plant is taking over the compost pile.

We actually ate something from the garden!  

When we pot houseplants with soil from our worm bin we get a lot of cherry tomato plant sprouts.  This one is growing around our avocado plant.  It’s a little messy (we kind of mangled it when we moved it outside).  We picked 5 cherry tomatoes already!  It’s not really a meal.  Or even a salad.  But it’s a start (they’re tasty).

Our local thrift store

A couple of months ago we took a load of unneeded stuff to our local thrift store in Maspeth.  We did  a little shopping there too.  Janie picked up three crocheting books.

I found cassettes for 20 cents!  The ‘94 Subaru has a cassette deck (of course).
