This is as close as I've come to having gardening be worth my time this year! Something has been eating my strawberries...all of them. My plants are doing beautifully, but just when they turn red...bam. I finally covered them both with plastic bags, and it seems to have worked, because I just harvested almost a handful! Local wildlife...0. Gardener, 1.
I have some cherry tomatoes about to ripen as well--Sun Gold or Gold Nuggets, I'll have to check my notes to remember which. Usually the cherries don't get bothered too badly by animals, but I'll have to be vigilant.
I'll also show you my new toy I got at the gourmet kitchen store today. I have been wanting one of these for awhile, just perfect for hand-grinding seeds, nuts, spices, and anything else. It's
made of marble and only cost $10--a great find.I also wanted to say really quickly that tomorrow's dinner will be a healthy and yummy burger recipe on some homemade buns--so come back tomorrow for that one!
