Broken Toys

Broken Toys

Yesterday I went home early to blow leaves. The choke on the leaf blower would not stay up. I could not start the leaf blower. Any readers who know me know that I had a mechanical bypass at a very early age and I am totally unable to fix anything. My leaves are unblown and the leaf blower is in the trunk of my car.

I did lay off and sulfur the 4th row of the garden. That is the row where some stuff is already growing. Greens, radishes, arugula and lettuce are coming along nicely. The temperature went to 80 degrees yesterday. It is supposed to do so again today. That should make things grow. Our salad last night had arugula and radishes from the garden. Most of the 1st planting of the fall garden did not come up because of the drought. That is why everything is so late this year.

I also ordered grapevines and asparagus crowns from Stark Bros. http://www.starkbros.com/ yesterday. Their web page said they were sold out; but they took my order over the phone for February delivery. Ordering stuff is almost as much fun as planting. Nothing is more fun than eating the produce from the garden though.
