The children visited the farmers’ market today. They got to ask the farmers questions, as well as buy a few items to make a salad.
A variety of greens and mushrooms from the farmers’ market, an assortment of herbs picked from the garden, freshly grated parmesean cheese, and black locust flower blossoms foraged from Riverdale park: Delicious!
Today I ordered coyote urine off the Internet and then went home to harvest worm poo from my worm bin. Well, more like worm diarrhea because I haven’t harvested castings in awhile.
I threw an old and ragged looking black towel over my seedlings outside for the night as the temperature is supposed to be dipping below zero degrees celsius.
This giant towel was originally given to us by our landlord to use to cover our bedroom window at night to block the light in the alley that would come streaming in whenever activated by the late night revellers next door. But that’s never been a problem so we’ve had this towel kicking around.
Now it’s doing frost protection duty for my various tender greens and carrots that are just popping through the soil.
