Ramble On

Well, it has been an eventless morning. We were supposed to go and sell herbs at the local farmer's market, but it was raining and hailing something terrible at 6:30am when we went to setup. We bailed. I just didn't think the dried herbs would hold up, and I had some fresh plantain, but I didn't want it to get damaged.

So me and my partner Dame K decided to retreat back to our waterbeds.

In garden news, the morning glories are taking off, and I had some huge pumpkin seedlings come up in the seed pots yesterday morning. Just dirt when I went to bed, and then two 5 inch seedlings the next morning. I am also absolutely inundated with tomatoes and watermelons! When I went to transplant the volunteer tomato plants, there were a lot more than I thought. I had originally estimated around 40 or so plants, it is a lot more like 90. And the little seedlings are getting huge. And all of the watermelon seeds sprouted! I thought I might get half, so I went ahead and planted all of them. Oh well, now I am also distributing watermelon sprouts along the with tomato seedlings.

Fact for the day: Calamine is another name for zinc carbonate.
