Pwyll

Well, it was another normal Monday. A little rain fell and then I thought I would check the garden plot between rains. Beans, peppers and lots of tomatoes. It seems they are deciding that it is getting time to be ripe.

The fall crops I planted two weeks or so ago are coming along fine. If the weather holds like it has been through September into mid October we should be gathering the benefit of this midsummer planting of root crops.

I'm going to have to do some reading on storing root crops if they suceed. Parsnips, turnips, beets, and carrots. The eight cabbage plants I purchased for 80 cents seem to be developing fine. Will keep and eye out for cabbage moth eggs.

Gather some tomatoes to share with others. It seems that sharing the bounty is the way to go. We can't eat them fast enough and still not to the point to start canning.
