Things I have learned This Week

*  "I was out mixing in the organic fertilizer" sounds better than "I was out stirring in horse poop," but it still smells the same.

*  When the snow peas start popping out all over as weeds, it's safe to plant them.

*  I used to be really impressed by the nearby farmers who grew mint.  Now I'm impressed that the mint hasn't overrrun the entire area and taken hostages.

*  When you're finishing the canning in late October, and start planting the garden on March 1, it really DOES feel like gardening is a year-round effort.  Probably because it almost is.

*  Even though the seed packet says "plant as soon as the soil is workable," I'm going to have to see some spinach actually growing before I believe it.

*  They may sound plain, but homemade tortillas are amazing!  Especially if someone else is making them.
