Fun Weekend
My speaking event at the Renewable Energy Roundup was great. Eric told me he counted 80 people there. I gave out at least 70 Growing Pleasures cards there, so I hope the folks will check out this site. Everybody had great questions and only one person fell asleep (you know who you are). This weekend the weather has been nice. I decided not to do my fall veggie garden this year. Usually I always plant veggies on Labor Day. But this year I went to Atlanta on Labor day, and with the severe heat, exceptional drought and police-enforced water restrictions, I decided to skip the fall veggies this year. But now that the weather has changed a bit I am having second thoughts. The rest of my yard is looking horrible, and I ought to devote time to that instead. But the allure of fresh radishes, parsley and cabbages is almost too hard to resist. My yard looks horrible because of the heat and drought, and the heat and drought made me not want to work outside at all this summer unless it was earning money at my customers' yards. Also, a large tree in our front yard died in the spring and we had to cut it down in the early summer. Suddenly a section of the yard that had been shaded was now is horrible scorching sun. So everything needs some work. I guess I will do the right thing and focus on cleaning up the landscape this fall and winter and pass on veggies. I can get most of the veggies I want at Boggy Creek Farm with the gift certificate my husband's mother got us for Christmas last year!
