Here's the interview, if anyone cares to read it. And his album Found My Way uses no gendered pronouns, ON PURPOSE! Guess I'm going to FYE tomorrow.
That's actually a good thing. Like most veg, zucchini can get tough, wooden, and bland-tasting if left too long before harvesting. They grow quite fast (about 3 inches a day), so harvest early and often. They should be dark green and firm. If you have more than you can use or give away, you can slow the plants' production by trimming off the flowers. The flowers are also edible in salads and stir-fries. Or, you can fill them with cream cheese, coat them in batter, and deep-fry them. Just make sure to pluck out the reproductive bits before you use the flowers.
Congrats, Clo! Glad to hear that the lemon seeds survived! Zucchini and tomatoes are annuals, not perennials, so they need to be replaced every year. I was thinking of planting those two this year, along with basil, oregano, eggplant, and strawberries. Maybe even some corn, if I can find planters big enough.
An obituary in the paper today: "Well-known and beloved prankster John Smith passed away quietly yesterday....the casket at his wake was closed, with 'Pop Goes the Weasel' playing every ten minutes."
Once you do manage to get it out, you should check your barn for any holes or gaps where he might get in. Maybe create a border of rocks around the outer edges where the walls meet the ground. That will prevent any digging or burrowing.
Afternoon, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for Thistle*
Hey, Froggy. You look especially green today.
Hey, Clo.
Hey, Val. For us, it's going to be a day of repainting the half-bath on the main floor. We're covering the blue paint with a coat of white. The blue will still be visible, but it will show up as more of a pastel shade. Then, next weekend, we're going to have 4'0" of shiplap installed.
