Did I share that my neighbor is exchanging fresh eggs for garden greens? How fun is this?!?! Of course, I'm a little scared to eat unpasteurized eggs. Should I be? Just googled ... need to fully cook them (i.e. no runny yolks), but should be fine.

I made time for a little creative project yesterday.
A while ago I made a little bed for my grandson's Elmo doll and he SITS in it with Elmo. How cute is that? And how does he actually fit?? It's a LITTLE bed.
I decided to make him a bigger one that he can fit in with his stuffed animals. He likes to "read" to them.
Big box, leftover wrapping paper, extra bed pillows ... and ta-da! I need to paint a few Elmos and Cookie Monsters on the bed and it's finished. Temporary fun out of things I had at home.
I'm glad I took the time to do this.
Nature, garden, and creativity are mood boosts in the best way.
Lifted some of the heaviness yesterday.
I started hardening off the peppers and herbs too. We have a few colder days next week and then it should be time to plant. I'm holding off as long as I can. April 18 is summer plant day according to the almanac. I might be able to sneak it a week early depending on the forecast.
Meanwhile, greens are fabulous. Peas are slowly coming along. Something ate the radishes and turnips. Cilantro and spinach never germinated. About a 50-50 spring experience. I'm at the absolute height of the work of the garden. Spring to summer shift with grow room is a lot.
I made some grow room mistakes. but next year I'll do better. It's all about mistakes and critters and weather. And despite it all, things actually grow. So satisfying and awe inspiring. Fresh, homegrown vegetables. It's fabulous and I LOVE sharing things from the garden. I've already given greens and it brings me such delight to share.
Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
