Today's morning task was the garden. We hooked up the trailer and biked over to the local greenhouse at 9. Of course, we then found out that they open at 10 on Sundays. So back home. So a nice, easy morning ride of maybe a mile.

Around 10, we packed up the recycling and dropped it off, to offset the gas we were going to spend. Drove down to the Baldwin Junction greenhouse. Despite the signs, I don't think they actually sold plants there. Did watch a shelf full of plantlings get loaded by tractor into a moving van.

Next try was Vinland Valley Greenhouse. Found most of what we wanted there, including a sweet black kitty who we carried around. Bought bell peppers, tomatoes, stevia, Thai basil, lemon grass and leeks. Swung by the local greenhouse again on the way into town for hot pepper, another tomato, cilantro, brocoli (even though the snowed on ones managed to survive the cold spell), red cabbage and strawberries. I picked out mostly flavorings (the herbs, hot pepper and leeks), while [livejournal.com profile] lawnchair picked out salad fixings.

The herbs got planted in pots, the strawberries in the tree patch, and the rest in the main garden patch. I know where each is, so I won't accidentally weed them.
