movita’s veggie patch – progress report { 2 }
. . . How anything can be growing in our wee veggie patch, I’m not sure. It continues to rain. We haven’t seen blue skies in weeks, in fact, almost a month. But somehow, the radishes are coming up. As of the 12th, we had already seen 100 mm of rain in May – that’s…

It happens. You have a day, maybe a week, when nothing seems to get done. The to-do list keeps growing, and nothing gets checked off. This often happens at the Cat Farm, especially at this time of year – my most hectic time at work, and one of the busiest times for the gardens and…

Happy long weekend! I’ve made some plans for you. I think you might want to eat these. And I’m thinking you might wanna make ’em tomorrow morning. Because they’re good. Real good. I made these for 2.0 last weekend. As mentioned before, he’s really into chocolate chips (read: he keeps pillaging my baking cupboard). I…
