I posted about this subject in     this entry It appears we are going for a part 2.  If you are getting the vibe that I am feeling a little pressed for time lately YOU ARE RIGHT on target.  I planned on doing some tilling, seed for spinach, carrots, radishes and plant the potatoes..... BUT no.. you see the brussel sprouts really needed a haircut ..no really.  I had a moment of hmmmmm maybe I should just pull them up so I won't have to take care of them, then I felt guilty and came to my senses.  I stopped what I was doing for an HOUR or so and finished that.  You see the lower leaves of the plant have to be removed to encourage the tight little heads of baby cabbages so to speak.   I could only bribe Matthew for so long to stay outside in the sun so I knew I had to stop for the day.  I gather my stuff up and start up the hill.. OH NO wait, the dag gum Mustard greens are TRYING to go to seed... UGGHHHHHH I send Matthew off to shower, A WHOLE bushel  of Mustard greens   I am taking a break to whine on my blog while the water is boiling.  Already this morning I had blanched and put up 2 quarts of brussels that I picked on Friday.
Maybe I should just plant some sunflowers and eat at Whole foods... it would be so much easier.  Don't let me fool you ... I love it.  Well most of it.
