today is the boy’s birthday. i asked him a couple of days ago what kind of cake would he like for his birthday. he told me a vanilla cake with blue icing. when i asked what shape he wanted, he said he didn’t care. i offered a computer shaped cake, or round, or square, and he said he didn’t care what shape. so this is what he got.
it’s been awhile since i put in the fall garden and so far it has gone well. i have picked some of the romaine and butter crisp lettuce. both of them were tasty. the spinach is good as well. a couple of the carrots got fat enough to be picked and were good in a taco salad. i have given away some of the lettuce and still have plenty so i think that was a successful crop. i will leave the rest of the carrots to get bigger. i planted the tulip bulbs today. those will bloom in the spring. the broccoli hasn’t produced anything other than leaves so far, but they have grown better than i thought they would.
