Last night was much fun. The boys were here. Kathleen's kids were here. We did the Christmas wreath service, ate the cioppino (I used rosemary and thyme from thegarden, and bay leaves from a , and then I gave everyone little presents to kick off the fast. Yes, I gave each person a can of smoked oysters.
Today, my name day, I worked out in the garden. I transplanted all the basil plants from around the garden to one of the planter boxes that is kind of shady. We've tried growing onions, carrots, parsnips, poppies, tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers in that box but it just doesn't get enough light. The only thing that ever does well there are pumpkin vines, and that is because the vines grow into the sunlight. I have read that basil does well in shade. I am hopeful.
I shot another squirrel in the garden. I've lost track of how many I've killed since I started shooting them in the spring. They started eating the garlic bulbs a couple of days ago. I have never heard of squirrels eating garlic, especially when there are lettuce and cabbage plants nearby. Very strange.
Today's harvest was small but, hey, it's November so I'm not complaining.
