What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

Sounds about right.. that's sage advice

You're fired.

I think it might be time to make another browned sage butter dish, my sage is looking pretty good.

I'd recommend pumpkin-stuffed tortelloni, with sage butter.

Last time I had that was at a wedding about 20 years ago, it was really good, but I don't know if I want to do the recipe, though. That wedding also had for appetizers, shrimp cocktail that were easily U-10's and mini beef Wellington. I honestly filled up on appetizers. Oh man, those appetizers were so delicious.

Yeah! Lets plant 24 tomato plants! That sounds like a great idea, somebody thought. No time this year for classic canning recipes so it’s all about loss prevention. I am straining the early girls and just shrink wrapping the San Marzan skins and all. Just cored. I’ll puree and strain as I use them.

There's a woman down the road plants around 90 every year. She's got them down her driveway and around her house like people usually landscape. She gives every bit of it to the neighbors and the food bank.

Cleaned up my Briggs & Stratton tiller, mfg. in 1997, for the end of the year. I'll have to run it one more time for the garlic bed but that'll just be in dirt since I've already tilled in the weeds. I used to do that whole storage routine but it's cheaper, easier, and faster to leave it run ready and crank it up for 10 minutes every month in the off season.

She's clean. Good job

Thank you. It's only dirty right after use. Tends to last if maintained...

I give mine a few cleans during the season after use. I'm fortunate to have a guy at the end of my street who will tune it up at the end of the year for a couple of steaks.

That's cool. I'm retired so it's more like okay, I can do this now!

Yes it is but... In about an hour or so I can make all of this:

Look like this:

After I plant I put a bunch of mulch down and then cover it with cardboard. Weeds done!
