A Rainy Evening

I was able to finish cutting the rest of the sod last last night. And just in time since we got quite a dousing of rain this afternoon and evening. On top of that, I received emails late yesterday confirming that the tomato and pepper starts have been shipped and will arrive tomorrow. We'll unpack them tomorrow night and leave them on the back porch to harden for two days. I have a law school reception to attend tomorrow evening after work so I'll head to Portland Nursery after work on Friday to get manure, compost and a new metal rake. Saturday and Sunday will be spent turning in the amendments and planting. I'll then clear out the lower back corner bed and plant potatoes. If I have time (and energy) I'll clear the parking strip cover crop and plant our sweet corn.

In the mean time, since it was a rainy evening, I put my energy into the kitchen. I made a Potato Leek soup and have a French Bread dough now rising for baking in the morning.
