Yesterday was busy enough to make up for the slacking on Saturday.
Did some digitizing.
Went to the grocery store.
Roasted a chicken and made chicken salad for lunches next week.
Roasted a pork butt for supper.
Made a batch of lemon cookies (they are divine).
Cleaned up the kitchen 40 times.
Worked in the garden for 2 hours.
The tomatoes look pitiful. Blight. I snipped off so many bad leaves that there's not much left of the plants; they look like little palm trees. When The Husband saw them, he said, "Wow...you gave them a buzz cut!" I mixed up a fungicide/pesticide cocktail and doused them good, which was easy since they are mostly stems.
The newer tomatoes weren't faring quite as badly, but they got a dose of the elixir, too. They are just now starting to produce. They need to be fertilized (so do the new peas). Maybe I'll do that this afternoon.
The Husband picked the squash and cucumbers AGAIN, and cut the okra. All the relatives on the hill have had their fill of squash, it seems. Looks like I'm going to have to start leaving it on strangers' porches.
