05 OctGreens & Lemons

Damn, I missed all the winter greens at the nursery, swear they were there just a few weeks ago… I didn’t see arugula there either & according to Seattle Tilth it’s a great thing to plant as ground cover in October & grows like a weed crowding out other weeds “& tasty to boot”. But eh. ‘Swhat I get for having slow garden inspiration. As a consolation prize for making it out to the nursery anyway, I got M1 her own chives, & me some leeks & a meyer’s lemon tree. Except it’s really more of a bushlet at this point. It’s very pretty though. Maybe some day I’ll have my own lemons! M2 got her own reward by sneaking a package of lupine seeds up to the register & finding a $5 bill sitting on (in?) one of the wooden benches she tried out between running with glee from fountain to fountain.

Came home & dug under the romas. I think I’m going to bail on them. They always get blossom end rot. The cherry tomatoes & other tomatoes seem to do fine & I’m fine with that. Also pruned the out of control rosemary in the front yard.
