As some of you know, I spent last weekend in California doing a Fall Chick Days tour at Tractor Supply stores in Gilroy and Turlock which was sponsored by my friends at Manna Pro. It was a great trip - my first time in California! - but I was happy to come home. The garden is still producing tons of veggies (our tomatoes have finally started to ripen and no one loves sun-ripened tomato sandwich more than I do!), but egg production has ground to a virtual halt due to the shorter days and a few girls who already have started molting.
There's a definite chill in the air - in fact it got down to 47 degrees one night, so I brought my basil in side just in case...basil is always the first casualty in the herb garden I've found and I wasn't taking any chances.
I spent most of the week relaxing and working on my next book. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the deadline is actually DECEMBER, not September as I had originally thought....whew! That gives me a bit more breathing room! Anyway I did a bit of crafting, painting and building this week and was seduced by a table of reduced price herbs at the local nursery, which of course had to come home with me!
