Artisan Lifestyle has moved. Maybe not such a good choice since readership has dropped to......5.So, I may need a little help with marketing. Please,Please please....tell anyone and everyone about this site so I will have a reason to keep it going. Thank you! Panic begging over now.
Spring weather is finally here. The lilac bush is finally in full bloom (the enormous lilac bush is my canaryinacoalmine) Our garden at last looks like a garden. And.... we have bean sign. Still don't know what happened to the first batch we planted but the second planting is popping through the soil right on time. The cat is at the top of Jimmy's s-list right now. She kept breaking into the cold framed cucumber bed to do her business. Resulting in the death of most of the cucumbers. I understand why she did it. Its the only warm dry spot in the yard in the last two weeks. But Jimmy has no understanding. He is MAD. So mad, he dug out the 14 volt electric fencing and put it around the bed. today we will be going to Sky Nursery and buying new plants. Which makes Jimmy even more mad because the ones she killed were HIS lovingly tended starts. Glad I'm not the cat right now! She's mostly at the top of the list because we are down to one last jar of last years crispy, delicious, spicy pickles.
Today we are headed to the produce stand in Lynnwood on Aurora. We went through all 24 jars of strawberry jam I put up last year. (many as gifts). So, jam making will commence as soon as I get 2 flats of berries. Speaking of jam making...... Here is THE best site ever on canning and preserving and local U-pick farms. Not everyone has a stack of government issue how-to books from the 1930's like I do (Thank you granny!)
