The End of Summer




With Daylight savings upon us I am really feeling the chill of winter.  Not really.  Today it was in the 70's and I played soccer and got a bit of a tan.  Growing up my whole life in California I have come to appreciate the subtleness of our weather.  I appreciate Fall not slapping me in the face and reminding me to pull out the tupperware of warm sweaters from the basement while putting up storm windows.  Jesse and I can't even remember to water so this type of readiness would be lost on us.   What we can do is replant our small little urban garden.    I took out the tomatoes, peppers and zucchini.  I was able to make one last caprese salad with the cherry tomatoes.  Now we have a refurbished garden with fava beans, carrots, arugula, onions, garlic and beets.  They will keep company with the current basil, strawberries and chard.  I will keep you posted on the success of this endeavor.  I have never planted carrot seeds before and I planted 3 different types so there will be carrots a plenty.

Awesome. I should post a picture of our garden for comedic contrast. Grow little carrots, grow!

we pulled almost everything out- just have chives, basil, thyme and chili peppers left, plus a few lettuces my parents brought this weekend. I think I need a nursery trip to see what is in season now.
