I still don’t know enough to do much aside from routine task in the garden, but I CAN cook. That is helpful because it frees up more of MK’s time so she can do more garden work. A situation that suits her just fine. Lol. She’s a real gardening addict.
Papa Jim and I both have serious weight problems. Mine is the “overweight, but undernourished” thing my doctor considers an epidemic among people my age. (23) PJ is the typical meat and potatoes type of guy and is suffering the consequences of such a diet. MK doesn’t have a significant weight problem, but she is prone to cancer if she isn’t careful about what she eats. The preservatives and additives in highly processed and convenience foods cause her problems. I’ve been attempting to create meals that work for all of us. Cabbage is a good source of the vitamins and minerals I need, it is a vegetable PJ honestly likes and any veggie in the cabbage family is said to help prevent cancer. Best of all, it is a vegetable that grows easily here in the fall. I’ll be on the lookout for more cabbage recipes.
A DWARF banana and a canna evidently did not read the specs that said how tall they were suppose to grow. They have committed the heinous sin of covering the satellite dish with their huge leaves. Moving them will be today’s major task. In the future, I will read the pertenent entry in the Encyclopedia of Gardening Plants aloud to every newly arrived plant so this does not happen again.
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! ~Nadine
