From the archives, here's a drip-irrigation device I made for spot watering at the allotment. Because watering is just a drip or a trickle (you choose), it goes fully into the soil rather than running off to the side. As a bonus, fewer weeds around the plant because they never get water. #garden #gardening #water #artichoke #allotment #wine #bottle #diy

Nice road bike ride and farm stand visit yesterday.

We did a nice 36 mile road bike ride on the Monterey Recreation trail yesterday morning from the Monterey Wharf, south to the Pacific Grove Lighthouse then back through Monterey and north to Castroville turning around at the Pezzini Farm stand.

The photo is from the Pezzini Farm stand yesterday near Castroville CA, the so called “Artichoke Capital of the World". The Pezzini family farm is well known for their Heirloom Green Globe artichokes.

There are several farm stands between Moss Landing and Marina on highway 1. Pezzini is the biggest and nicest, in my opinion, with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit with a few other items. It's well worth a stop. It’s also has easy access with highway 1 off and on ramps. I have no relation to them BTW, other than being a customer for many years on our way back from Monterey.

Fellas!
#brusselsprouts were on offer and I found my favourite supermarket to have a much wider variety of #spelt #pasta so I made a combination of two nyt- cooking recipes: pasta with fried #artichoke hearts, and air fried Brussel sprouts with aceto balsamico and #garlic .
The artichoke is pretty well priced sometimes, so it’s not expensive, either. And deliiicious!
