May first time to get more of the garden in. As you can see from the above photo I have some vast acreage. What? You don’t believe me? OK it’s actually at a greenhouse that I shop at.
But I did do a l ot of work today. Most of the herb Garden is in. These raised beds are an enormous back and knee saver. The two units have basil, rosemary, sage, parsley, oregano, marjoram, arugula, chives, and Tarragon. I plant onion sets around all the planted beds.
Moving right along I planted some of Martha Kennedy’s Scarlet Emperor Beans. Martha tells me that these are decorative and nutritious.
I also started work in my newly cleaned shop. I’m already to start making messes again. I like to start out easy. So I have a bunch of spoon, fork and spatula blanks prepped for work. The round object is a hollowed out form for a circular box. It will be smoothed inside, get abottom fitted, and then the top will have a carved boat portrait on it. It’s about five inches in diameter.
I am doing these smaller projects because I am cogitating my veratabilities about a bigger project, a portrait of a full-rigged ship. I like to back into these projects, and let my mind cogitate, and cook before starting.
But spring is here, and I’m getting moving.

Their cousins send them greetings. They went outside today for a few hours of sunshine. They have to come in later though, since it will be freezing tonight. Their pals the squash are doing great, too. My basil has rooted. I just buy it at the store and root them.
That’s pretty much what I did too. Cheaper!
