State of the Garden (First Weekend After the Fall Equinox)
I pulled no longer productive summer plants and planted lettuce, spinach, chard, and arugula. The birds have been eating my seeds, so I got seedlings at Eastern Market yesterday morning. I have planted some more seeds, but wanted back up. The grape tomato is still prolific, alone among the tomatoes. The cucumbers are completely past, making room for chard and turnips. It is time to make the last batches of pesto with the basil and parsley. Another blossom has come and not quite gone on the night-blooming cereus.
State of the Garden
It is nice to have lettuce in January without a cold frame, but the trees could use a couple of good snowfalls.
Snow pea shoots, kale, carrots, spinach, lettuce, grape tomatoes, arugula, chard, (not shown), turnips, parsley, mint
Vine-Ripening Cherry Tomatoes
They still taste pretty green even after they turn red. But I had to bring them inside.

Abundance and Gratitude
Many thanks to all who came and participated in the yoga fundraising class for Oxfam. Special thanks also to Suzie Hurley and Willow Street Yoga for making the space available. True gratitude for the practice of yoga itself. Together we raised $935 for Oxfam, sharing our own abundance with those who are needier. Many blessings on this holiday weekend to all of you.

In this upcoming time of shortages, how are you preparing? Are there ways you can use more of the food you get? Can you grow some?
