Today's Adventures in Gardening....
Leeks were supposed to be transplanted April 1. But they are such tiny little things! (Plus I forgot about hardening them off. Yes, the perfect bloggers are NOT at this URL….) So today makes, I think, day 3 of hardening
off.

| Can you even see them? |
Plus I covered the bed where they are going to be planted with
plastic to warm it up. The leeks HAVE to
go in the ground by April 15 because that is when we are starting tomatoes and
we need the pots that the leeks are in!
Supposedly this process, if done for a few weeks, will also make the weeds sprout so they can be eliminated before you plant anything.
This bed is waiting for potatoes. (Plus shows me being frugal by using the clothesline!)
Belovedest cut them up yesterday and they are
supposed to scab over a little so they don’t rot. He wants to plant them today but I am going
to try to persuade him to wait. You are
supposed to wait 3 days after you cut them.
We didn't actually buy seed potatoes. These are just ones from the grocery store that we set aside....
How does your garden grow? What are you up to?
Holy Thursday
Look at all the presents!
The institution of the priesthood and the Eucharist: It's like Christmas!

Journal Bliss: Creative Prompts to Unleash Your Inner Eccentric
by Violette (She doesn't have a last name. See 'Eccentric' above.)
I think I want to get my fingers covered in paint and find my art Zen Zone with this lady. The techniques in the book are fun for the beginning or not-too-serious artist. The lady herself is just fun. I always judge a book by whether or not it makes me want to play in my studio, and this one did.
Zentangle Untangled: Inspiration and Prompts for Meditative Drawing
by Kass Hall
There are a lot of people who take Zentangle pretty seriously. But this book is a good introduction, with lots of patterns to learn and images that show you what folks have done with this soothing art form. I liked the book and wish I had had more time to try out some of the techniques. I want to go back to this one.
