It’s time this weekend to get my seed spuds out of the fridge and put them in a sunny spot. I have a neighbor who has a good sunny porch and they will come out tomorrow. After a week, I’ll cut them and leave them a couple more days out there and then hopefully plant them. I think I’m a week after that before I plant any of my seedlings into the ground. Some I plan to keep inside and some I’ll give away in a pot or two.
My only total failure has been parsley in the soil. But my parsley in the aerogarden is going great and I don’t use as much of that as cilantro (which is going great guns and I hope does well outside — will probably leave some in here maybe). My wild flowers and pentunias are not growing real fast so not sure yet how they are doing, but it’s early. I will repot tomatoes tomorrow into bigger pots. Need to transplant 14 of them, so might give a couple of those away right now — find bigger pots for them later. I’ll also plant a pot of herbs for my neighbor.
I wasn’t able to buy rosemary online, so will miss that in the garden. Not sure it’s coming back like the sage and oregano are out there. Mint and chives are coming back outside.
Happy Thursday. Another gardening post this weekend.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…

I have never grown potatoes – look forward to seeing how yours go. My garden is booming but frost predicted tonight – I’m hoping my tomato’s will be okay under the shelter because they are just delicious at the moment and I eat tonnes of them
