1. Oh my word, you have been incredibly busy. I feel like such a slacker.

Over this weekend, I just transplanted a dozen varieties of tomatoes, including three kinds of blacks/purple, and three peppers, one of which is supposed to be hot (not holding my breath). Will cage them tomorrow and plant calendula all around them (a
friend will be making calendula cream again for our group this winter). I also found the seeds for cucumelons (adorable little cukes that resemble tiny watermelons). The vines can grow to ten feet, so I am going to train them up the netting I got from the dollar store. Should be interesting.

Now if we could just get some rain!!!
