Phillip has started the garden. There were some volunteer potatoes, carrots and chard that came up already, so hopefully the frost is over. He put in radishes and beets so far and a few sprouted potatoes to fill out the row of volunteers. I had hollyhocks along the back of the garden spot but they came up all over the place so he has been killing them off before they take over. They were fine til he expanded the garden spot.
So many of the snow-birds have gone back up north so there was a whole lot of produce at the senior center this time. The old-folks each got a whole flat of strawberries, thats 8 quart boxes, and a whole 4# bag of yellow bell peppers, a flat of tomatoes on the vine and a bag of onions. Even after keeping some for friday lunch there was enough left for the volunteers to each get a flat of tomatoes, strawberries, peppers and onions. Phillip has been canning stewed tomatoes and strawberry jam. Stuff like that don't happen too often. Once in a while there might be a few potatoes,cabbage or lettuce left over to get. Most times it's bread or bagles.
Phillip came in while I was writing this and wants to play a game. So til next time.
Granny.
