Looking ahead

We had a good week this week. We got a couple more walls framed.

And yesterday, I did some work on the garden. The big freeze killed the last of my winter lettuce (but not the spinach, interestingly) so I worked on turning everything over and getting compost into the soil for spring. I took apart the worm bin and finally got a good load of compost (the first decent amount). The worms seem to be thriving, and I’ve put a few in the spinning composter and also the garden itself.

Our seedlings inside are also planted and coming up. So far we have eggplants and cilantro. The tomatoes (top) should be coming up any minute.

This week is the big fundraiser for our fire and rescue group, so I’ll be cooking — creamy roasted garlic soup, avocado soup (my favorite), walnut and rosemary bread, French bread, and oatmeal muffins. I better get started!
