independence days week 10

this has been a week of not much happening in terms of independence days. this is the point at which i started to lose interest in the garden last year. things were in the ground and i would find "better" things to do with my time. goal this coming week: plant something! preserve something! hack down the yard weeds! spend time in the back yard!

1 planted: nothing

2 harvested: one of our basil plants for pesto thursday night. two sugar snap pea pods just before i tore out the plants to make room for more planting. not sure what i'll put in that pot...

3 preserved: nothing

4 stored: picked up a couple months' worth of honey and 9 months' worth of yeast

5 prepped: received my order of five colored bucket lids with spouts. not sure how the spouts will do with emptying/refilling.

6 managed: weeded a bit

7 cook something new: cole slaw! from the new moosewood cookbook. yum.

8 work on local food systems: csa pickup - fruit shares have begun!

9 reduced waste: nabbed a novel and several half-filled notebooks from neighbors' trash piles

Well if I may add something: my "cook something new" was the mock tuna salad you linked and I have to say I loved and made a second batch two days after the first so muchas gracias :)
