Wow. Just love Wednesdays! At 3 pm I hustle on over to my farmer’s place, and scurry up her driveway to see what delish-us-nuss awaits me. This week: Idaho Potato Chowder made with organic red Idaho spuds, organic onions, magic garlic and other good stuff. (A lot of these items were grown at my CSA garden this summer.) Then, I peek in the cooler, and there, in a big brown bag with my name on it, is the bread of the week. Today’s treasure trove: whole wheat rolls with herbs. Man, it doesn’t get any better than this. The rolls are glazed on top and soft and chewy inside. Last time, the bread had the smallest amount of salt on the crust making for the most savory little surprise. Every week something new and different. I start ripping and eating pieces of the fragrant bread loaves or rolls before I have the car in gear.

Wednesday’s: homemade soup and bread every week for 12 weeks. I wish the baker would try her hand at cinnamon rolls. I would just have to sit in their driveway til I ate every one.

Even though it would work to do that, many people understand that careful planning and consistent effort are required in order to grow a garden that will produce consistently throughout the growing season. This would be true of both a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Either one will need to be planned out and cared for in order to have real success with your gardening. So what all is needed in order to make sure that your garden produces well throughout the year?

48*, 54% humidity, SSW 15 mph wind, cloudy I woke up plenty sore today. My neck is sore, so is my sternum (there is a small bruise there) and I still have that slight headache. If it gets worse or keeps up for any length of time I will likely go to the Dr just to make sure everything is OK. I took the car to our favorite auto body mechanic (is it a bad sign that we have a favorite?) who is a
