ysabetwordsmithToday we went out running errands.
We stopped at Ace Hardware for an air filter and I found a few new things to plant: a bag of 25 Dutch irises, a bag of 2 horseradish roots, a packet of Johnny jump-up seeds, and a packet of passionflower seeds. I hadn't seen passionflower seed before, only plants, so I bought them on a lark.
We picked up lunch at Arby's, then went grocery shopping.
I had great luck at the Charleston Food Forest. I took plenty of pictures. The first fruit trees are blooming! :D I gathered some moss for terrariums, the hardneck garlic that I was aiming for, and while I was down there digging garlic out of the pathway, I saw that strawberries had spread into it also, so I took some of them too. I may go back for more strawberries another day. Most modern ones are kind of fussy, delicate things but these are growing all over the place, so I think they're tough enough to experiment with. I nibbled on the French sorrel too.
We tried to check out the new thrift store, but it's closed on Mondays. :( Half Moon is only open 9-12 on Mondays.
We finished reading The Geeky Chef Cookbook. Some of the recipes sounded wretched, but others seem quite promising.
Still, I got a good haul at the food forest, so it's been a productive day.
