This Morning.

1. With the Lettuce bolting (we just noticed that all of the freshly cut plants grew back quick and straight and narrow), we're marking May 31st as the official end of our Lettuce season. Thank you Spirits of the Lettuce Bed for a wonderful and prolonged harvest, blessing us with too many meals to count (though in the future I would like to see just how many we get from year to year)! I'll soon dig-in the remaining plants, and prepare the soil for a planting of something new.

2. I'm off to purchase two additional soaker hoses, lay them out in one of the officially sanctioned Potato Beds, and mulch the Bed with straw. I'm healing a strain in my right upper back/shoulder, so we'll see how far this work goes.

3. The new, lighter, baguette-style Bread recipe we've derived is wonderful. I'm considering a entry soon that documents each step, for anyone out there who's just a few steps behind us in Breadmaking.

This Afternoon.

1. With rain coming tomorrow (Thank Goodness & welcome rain Spirits! We need you badly!), we're planning to harvest all remaining Garlic this afternoon. I'll dig this Bed and prepare it for something new as well.
