Stay-cation is about over... happy gardener going back to work tomorrow

i can't show you pictures cause the camera has a dead battery, but the yard, garden boxes and coop are starting to come together. i waited five days for P to till a small plot for my sunflowers with a motorized tiller but to no avail. So, this morning i did it by hand between rain showers.

i am days away from chamomile tea. The two small starts i potted have taken off, are about 3 feet tall and already blooming. There are three kinds of lavender in the yard; french, spanish and english. i should have a really nice sunflower patch. i'm really excited about harvesting the seeds this fall. i found a great recipe for roasting the seeds. The trick is boiling the seeds before baking them. i hope to have five or six mammoth heads to harvest. For Solstice, i will give little packets of roasted sunflower seeds in honor of the returning light.

Shush... don't tell anyone that i'm going all pagan on their asses.

You know, chickies and roos, i am very tired. It is almost 11:30 and i need to get to bed.

Love and light mi amigos.
