Nothing new to report. We have the gardens all weeded and growing well. The tomato garden is all ready to recieve the plants if it ever warms up enough to put them in. The seedlings are trying but they need more sun and heat to get big enough to transplant into the garden so may have to buy some plants. Last night we had to cover the potatoes again, they are so nice and big we don’t want to take any chance of losing them now. It got to 36 on the porch where our outside themometer is so I guess it got a little colder down in the garden area. The days have been so cold there is just now heat in the valley to rise so we are getting the cold with everyone else now. Tonight we will cover again and then it should warm up into the 70’s and we will be safe for the rest of the month. May should be safe and we can start thinking of the tomatoes. This week I want to burn more brush, this will take care of the last brush pile for this year and the trees we cut this spring I’ll burn next summer when they have had a chance to dry well. I will pick up more downed branches and old trees so the walking in the woods is nicer. We did get a good chance to spread some fertilizer in the wild blueberries, they are coming along great in a few more years we should have quite a patch of wild blueberries. They are not as big as the tame ones we have near the house but they have a flavor that the cultervated ones just don’t have and for muffins and cake they can’t be beat. I like the tame ones for sauces and pies and it looks like we will have lots of them this year also. We are eating from the garden. We have greens everyday either beet greens, Swiss chard, or spinach and some days we have some from the freezer such as today. When I have a roast of any kind I use the greens in the freezer and we still have 6 packages of those. Then we have a lettuce and green onion salad every day. I like to have two or three vegetables for each dinner and a salad for supper. I can’t wait for the new potatoes to come in. Another couple weeks should see them ready to get small ones. Have a great day. Nice to see Joyce is still visiting me. Nancy are you there? Click “like” to let me know you are there.
