The End of Autumn:
And we still haven't had a freeze, calendulas still blooming. I'm almost ready to leave my current compost pile alone for a while and start my second.
My goal is to alternate which pile I'm building and which pile I'm using, so once I start building pile no. 2 I will leave pile no. 1 alone for a few months to hopefully finish for spring use. We'll see how it goes, I'm still pretty new to composting.
The last few months have been rough with sicknesses, I have a small cold right now, better than other things recently but still a nusance for singing. I'm thinking maybe I need more vitamin C, but my lab work I get twice a year doesn't ever say I'm low on vitamins, so I'm hesitant to start taking them, as I know vitamin toxicity is a thing and it happened to me once a few years ago
So I'm very carefull about that now.
We had a nice Thanksgiving, harmonious, there were five of us and my husband smoked the turkey in our barbecue/smoker combo and it turned out well.
When it comes to harvesting radishes, the lesson was reinforced that if I leave them in longer there are bigger leaves and bigger radishes, but they're all more intense. Plusses and minusses.
When I don't have a chance to open my garden/vintage+ stand I've decided to give some of my microgreens to friends and family to just share. Even so I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they store in the fridge.
