All activities are cancelled this week and I am home, home, home! I'm planning a fairly thorough house cleaning which extends to such terrifying places as under the beds, into the depths of all the closets, and the garden. My fall gardening was a success if one is to judge only by the amount of bell peppers I picked this morning. My tomatoes never ripened, due to a cool and wet September and October. However, I do plan on pickling the handful of green pear tomatoes I plucked from the vines. The "meatball herbs" (parsley, oregano, and chives) are thriving and usually continue to do well throughout the winter. The dreaded pruning of the roses needs to happen before I lose all my motivation. My husband planted all the pansies and kale last week.
I forced myself to think beyond Christmas just for a bit last night and stuffed my refrigerator drawers with paper bags full of tulips, hyacinths, and purple alliums. Inspired by a little sachet of lavender my sister sent me, I've finally decided on a quiet herb garden for the tiny corner of the yard near our bedroom. That space needs to be cleaned and prepped as well.
Lots to get to today, thankfully I have no where else I need to be! I know I already said that, but it deserves repeating. Happy Monday!
