I enjoyed a bit of my 2 varieties of swiss chard last night- sauteed the stems and one of my onions a while with a little olive oil then threw in the cut greens and a little lemon juice and vinegar. Yum. Today I finally got around to starting the grape vines on some wire- wire I found in Colorado. I pruned and tied the vines to the wire. When the vines grow more, I will extend the trellis height above the fence for a bit more privacy. This afternoon a front brought gusty winds, then it cooled down and rained ever so slightly while I sewed three patches on my front door screen.
