Back from the sea ...



I was in San Diego area. My brother and I put our parents ashes in the sea; it went perfectly. We got along well the 3 days I was there. It was very nice to see his friend, R. again. The weather was very overcast with the marine layer of clouds and cool and drizzly. It was really nice for a few days.

In the meantime, when I went to pick up my CSA stuff today, they had kindly saved my veggies from last week. I am inundated with tomatoes and various squash not to mention POTATOES! I also got the peaches from last week and the sweet corn, YUMMMMMM!

Guess I’ll be dehydrating with everything I have to dehydrate within the next few days. I also got myself several red bell peppers which I love dehydrated so I’ll have to get busy today and tomorrow.

Cats and plants doing well thanks to my friend, S., who took care of them while I was gone. No problems flying either,but it was during the weekdays so security lines and other airport things were not so busy.
Peace, shamba

Busy Afternoon ....

We had some overcast today so I got out and put the shadecloth over the herbs; not the greatest construction in the world but I will be refining it over the next few weeks. I think I should have moved the plants further away from that block wall given how hot the wall can get. I actually have plenty more shade cloth if I want to make aome other arrangement.

The shadecloth is fastened to the wall and fastened temporarily on some plants stakes or poles in the front and side. that given me room to pull the canopy away and water easily. Anyway, that was enough for today.






A peek underneath ....
