Brussel Sprouts

Where is Flat Stanley?

The brussels sprouts looked ready to be harvested today. I got about 20 little heads off the stalk and cleaned out the other 4 plants. I came home, cleaned them thoroughly, and boiled them for 5 minutes. Then I shocked them in cold water. My parents came over for dinner. We had baked sweet potato, salmon, and brussels sprouts with Korean chili paste. It was a lovely dinner.

It rained again today

Are the gardeners getting lucky with the weather? I harvested the lone kohlrabi for dinner. All the seedlings looked like they were adjusting well. I planted the rest of the leek and the white eggplant seedlings. I am running out of space. The sweet peas are finally blooming. I thought I planted a color other than pink. Oh!

Dear Rain

It rained early this morning.  I am so happy about the cool weather since I planted all the kohlrabi and the broccolini last week. I had a feeling we were going to have a cool spell. I am going to check on the seedlings this afternoon. I went hunting for some gardening tools this past week. I got a weeder and a cultivator like tool from Spear and Jackon for a great price at the West Valley Nursery. This place is another great place you have to visit. They have a great selection plants. My husband was nice enough mulch the whole garden for us.

Windy and cool weather

Ok, what is wrong with the weather? For a few days, it was over 80 degrees and now it is back in the sixties. All the winter crops are loving it. I planted the kohlrabi and the leeks. I am going crazy myself. I don't know how the tomatoes are going to turn out.
