And pretty maids all in a row.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

While the fire is rolling, heating up water or food, my second task of the day after getting home from the shop is working in the garden. I am still gimpy and weeding is difficult on me, but I muster through it like a zombie stroke victim.

More than once I have heard “What on earth are you doing?” Followed by an uncomfortable giggle lobbed in my direction. Depending on who is doing the questioning, I will reply with a straight face a Dr Who quote, and zombie jest, or ramble incoherently about Cuthula. More times than not however, I peek up over the tops of my plants and demand they retrieve my boomstick, “I see deadites”. I am always greated with a laugh, and then they have the audacity to call me a dork. I don’t blame them, you crawl around on only one knee, half a butt in the air poking out above the vegetation and see how much you get snickered at. I have attempted weeding sitting down, it gets uncomfortable and I always end up back in the starting postion of the 100 meter dash.

I have managed to trellis my peas. Which has thrilled me to no end. Look what I did! (Feel free to acknowledge the previous dork statement)

When we first arrived, I purchased a small packet of locally raised spinach seed. My thinking is that since they were grown and harvested here that they will do better than my seed saved Kansas seeds. I planted both at the same time. And took some pictures to prove that my assumption was dead wrong.

Ky Seed

Ks seed

(Yes I am lacking on the weed free front. See opening statement for my rebuttal)

I have already harvest a lot of the KS spinach, eaten them and processed some into noodles. I have yet to harvest any of the local spinach and it has already gone to bolt.

I am disappointed. I was looking to diversify my spinach stock as I have been seed saving this particular type for many a years.

Oh well. Maybe this will cheer us all up. Cucumber flowers!
