It's not even 1:15pm on Saturday and I'm pretty sure I've already overdone it in the garden. But I got a lot of stuff in, so... Maybe I can actually rest, with that off my mind?

I got in a boatload of seeds for various greens, particularly perennial or self-seeding greens. I put in my ozette and huckleberry potatoes (the later is supposed to be low glycemic index? I just got 3, I'm curious what those will be like). I also put in my two artichoke plants, because despite not being as big as I'd like, they seem to be languishing a bit in their nursery pots.

I put a couple of things in that are definitely a month too early, as I wasn't really thinking about it. Hopefully that doesn't doom them. The irony is that it was the two seeds I've been looking for years to find, and they can be a bit challenging to locate. Ugh.

Worst case, what's another year of waiting to find out if there's a variety of zucchini that doesn't taste like wallpaper paste to me.

🙏🏼 Allow me to introduce you to Sea Kale.

All winter I look forward to her emergence! Her beautiful leaves will soon grow huge and lose the purple and tight wrinkles.

Later in the season we will enjoy the abundant food - for now I swim in her beauty.

✨️ Yes, we have seeds!!
