The sun breaketh through!
After planting tons of seeds last week, the sun decided to go on an extended vacation, and the rain moved back in. Today, the sun decided to poke through the clouds for a visit. We grabbed our shovels, trowels, and bags of soil and headed to the garden. Today, we repotted the orange tree in the green house and transplanted the small pots of cherry tomatoes from my kitchen windowsill to big pots in the green house. Some of the seeds we planted last week, the spicy lettuce mix and radishes, are already sprouting. We transplanted the Brussel sprouts, oregano, and some more marigolds from the green house to the garden. Why so many marigolds in the garden? They protect many plants from the attack of nematodes. Then it was time to hit the river trail for a nice long walk in the sunshine. It was one of those spring days when the jacket goes on and off every ten minutes, but ah sun! Ari and I went to see the new Jane Eyre film at the movies. It was awesomely good! Check it out. In cooking news, we are loving the rhubarb season. Last night, we had Dingle pies with oven roasted spuds and a rhubarb-strawberry pie with a lattice top. Delish! Next up for the rhubarb, an apple rhubarb tart.
