Doing a double volunteer shift today: Trees Atlanta early morning, Concrete Jungle late afternoon.

Wordle: four, my starter was DAILY

Last night marked the return of Monday Night Dinner and a Movie. I made “Braised Chicken with Mushrooms and Grits” from the book “The Southern Pantry Cookbook” by Jennifer Chandler, and followed that with a viewing of “In Bruges”.

Wordle: four, my starter was URINE. Talked myself out of the correct solution.

Don’t look now, but after today eight months of 2026 are history; that’s two-thirds of the year.

I’m ready for the heat to go away. It’s so hot that I rarely go outside after noon.

I did force myself to walk to WLF@UFO yesterday afternoon in order to water. I was rewarded with two large, ripe tomatoes on my plants! I also picked up some wire shelving that was being thrown out by somebody and lugged it home. This shelving is useful as trellises in Wee Little Farm.

Happy Friday!

Wordle: three, my starter was DITCH

Volunteering at Trees Atlanta again this morning. If I have any energy afterwards I will continue to clean up Wee Little Farm. Yesterday I saw a hawk snacking on something in WLF, and when it flew away it took its prey with it.

Wordle: four, my starter was DAILY. Another disappointing effort.

I’m making a big decision for Wee Little Farm today. I’m frustrated as fuck with my continued failure to germinate seeds and grow them to transplant size, so I’m taking the Fall off from growing. I will grow cover crops and garlic in WLF, but that’s it. Before seed starting season next year I will tidy up what’s in the yard, compost everything, clean and sanitize all of my seedling trays, and plan for a more successful 2027. I was also disappointed to find a caterpillar in the ripening tomato on one of my plants at UFO. I’m really starting to debate to benefit of having this bed; I have until February to decide.

Bummer to see all the good rain go north of WLF… again. It rained for about five minutes here.

I’m going to go silent for a while. I need a break from everything.
