Ending and Beginning

Watered buckwheat, kale, chard, beets, kohlrabi seeds/seedlings. Mowed lawn and dumped about 20 gallons of grass clippings into garden to cover areas of bare ground.

Had the idea of using the ‘pit,’ the space just south of the greenhouse, as garden area. Why not? It gets full sun and isn’t used for anything else.

Kale is fast becoming one of my favorite vegetables and I’ve been eating it twice a day at least. It’s good raw or cooked, tastes good with many things or by itself in a salad, is nutritious, frost-tolerant, and very easy to grow. It’s one of those rare vegetables that is not constantly looking for a reason to die. I want to try growing some late and early in the greenhouse.

Also, saw two honey bees (and several bumblebees) visiting catnip flowers in the garden.
