green and gold

The Radishly farmstead is going strong. Nico is finally getting into the eating part of vegetable rearing, and we finally have some decent vegetables to eat. Radishes, bok choy, spinach, and a large chunk of the lettuce patch gone (that last one had a lot of help from Nico.) Now on to snap peas, carrots, and beets, as well as the usual suspects – collards, kales, small broccoli, and the remaining lettuces. Onions are showing themselves, as are the tomatoes and peppers. In fact, I think some of the peppers are ready for plucking. Everything else is holding back on fruition, but we’re fine with the wait.

A quick splattering of good news. I’d intended to dedicate a full post once the garden was fully documented, but seeing as there is no foreseeable end to the garden, my good news is becoming old news. Perhaps you remember my irritation over a particular coworker, and how this spurned me on to demand a raise and a promotion. And perhaps, if you check your notes, I was denied the promotion but reassured that I would get one during May, the official month for such matters. May came. I got a promotion, though not as high as I’d suggested (for beurocratic reasons). I got the raise, though not as high as I deserved. And, I got a swank new window office, which I moved into on Monday. So, as the world and everything on it collapses around me, I’m sitting pretty good at the moment. Well, except for that coworker.

beets! Never knew I like ‘em ’til I did.
