I spent most of this week doing boring spring chores (e.g., loosening soil, weeding while the ground is moist). I also cleaned out and primed the inside of the garage (painting may need to wait until autumn).
I did do a few interesting things. Last summer, we grew some peppers that I dried. I finally ground these up to make red pepper flakes.
I also cleaned out the canning cupboard and decided to make some sauerkraut out of some cabbage we had left over in the fridge.
The tomatoes are getting leggy but otherwise doing well. I planted the second round of seedlings, mostly squashes of various types as well as some cantaloupes.
The bulbs are getting big enough to have flower heads in the sunny part of the the yard and I am hoping the city announced that compost is ready for pick up this week.
