E and I attended the first of two summer service projects. This one at a local school with limited resources. In our little corner, we helped remove weeds, dead plants, overgrown invasive plants, and rubbish. we both felt good after donating our effort.
with our apple tree yield and our pressure cooker, we made applesauce. easy and delicious. feel very domestic. maybe i'll move up to canning next year?
29 plums, and the challenge of eating them with no front teeth.
We shared other plums with neighbors, and yes, the raccoons also got some. so remember this for next year: pick the figs around Aug 1, then the plums mid August, and finally, the grapes before Labor Day. otherwise the raccoons enjoy part of our harvest.
R and E were AMAZING to extract bamboo roots growing around the rhodi rootball. supper skilly as cousin I would say. i think the rhodi has survived the operation. they say it might take one year of continually cutting back the bamboo that shoots up, but then, after one year, it might stop growing.
back to school Popsicle social and classroom lists/teacher reveal. looking forward to 2nd grade with ms. Nye.
