It was time to pick today. I ended up with loads of tomatoes so I decided to distribute them to the neighbors. That was fun. I still have loads and I think I'll be making juice and sauce out of them tomorrow.
The other project I did today was to plant another round of lettuce seeds in six packs in the greenhouse. I have two heat mats on shelving we constructed out of used lumber and recycled refrigerator shelves. This provides a great seed starting mechanism. So I did plant small quantities of Grand Rapids leaf, Raptor romaine, Black Seeded Simpson leaf, Petite Rouge romaine, Red Sails leaf, and Prizehead leaf lettuces, as well as one of my favorite greens, Tah Tsai.
I also froze the beans I picked the other day after blanching them in boiling water for two minutes. It is great to have frozen beans in winter. I think I'm washing house windows tomorrow so I'll post again in a few days.
