Mr. Sun has gone MIA
Seriously in hiding. And I have been told that rain and thunder is coming:
My limping-along-garden is doing its best to
put its best face forward in some beds to cheer me up …
Pretty, colorful, variegated leaves showing on the Painted Mountain corn stalks.
But it is losing the battle in others, as Mr.
Sun continues hiding his face from us:
Even though I have not started to be affected
by creeping crud on my outer extremities as my poor lettuce has, I am nonetheless feeling the down-slide
effects of the perpetual gray days.
WE NEED SUNSHINE!
After I pulled all my ruined lettuce – lettuce
can do without harsh sunlight, but it still NEEDS some sunlight for healthy
growth – I gathered some miner’s lettuce, purslane, violas, and nasturtium
leaves/flowers to add to the sparse gleaned lettuce leaves to make a spicy, healthy, and nutritious skimpy salad for Supper.
This will be my last salad
for a few weeks, until the seedlings re-sown in the gleaned bed sprouts and
starts putting out greens again …
Hopefully, Mr. Sun will sort out whatever
sent him into a full-blown snit and get with the program ;-)
