Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. ~

apparently, we started the 'starts' a little too early. we've still got about a week or so before the real chance for a frost passes, and most of the 'starts' are READY TO GO.

so many tomatoes! which is good b/c this year,i'm gonna freeze enough sauce to make it through this year.(or longer than October,which the time that we made it to last year.)

also decided that,for next year, we're going to plant like 5 or 6 rows of garlic, preserve a lot and then go back to 1 or 2 rows the next year,and so on and so forth. 1 row is simply not enough!
plus,i really enjoy young-garlic scallions,but would feel wasteful if i did that to the 10-ish plants we have right now.

our peach tree blossomed! both it and the pear have another year or so before anything substantiates, but i'm excited. plus one cherry baby-tree(of the 2 that my mom bought us) survived the winter and has leaves!

no word on any of the nut trees, as they appear dead. or to be 'sleeping',but who knows!?

for the past couple of days i've been dirty-ing myself with trying to get the flat walk-way rocks set. harder than it looks!

thinking about making some pierogies for dinner and freezing some,too. we have a lot of potatoes that Jake got from a 'veganic' farm in Ithaca,who are at the farmer's market. think they're called 'Unexpected', but my memory is unreliable.

okay,hours later...i did make the pierogies,onion and roasted garlic. we have run out of flour,though,so only enough for a meal,not to freeze,yet.
