Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

I had planned to make lasagne, but ran out of Ooomph.

Lasagna is a bit of a production. Dang, I haven't made any in a long time, and I have some GF lasagna noodles out in the pantry...

Still need to find my own oomph, though.

I make my own noodles. Good use for extra eggs

I need to find a recipe for GF noodles. The GF pasta that I've had has been a poor substitute, at best.

Something about being homemade gives it extra points, I guess. Homemade GF bread blows the socks of the stuff I've bought in the store.

Raining, should set the seeds nicely. As soon as we get a break in the downpour, I have some planters to fill.

Container tomatoes, parsley, basil, chives, lavender, cilantro, marigolds, nasturtium. Peppers in the raised garden, plus "real" tomatos (roma, plum). Also need to plant more asparagus to replace/suppliment what seemingly didn't overwinter (cold wasn't the problem, more likely my soils are too dense - also, asparagus prefers more neutral acidity. I have pelletized lime to amend in this time).

[Edit: Everything but the Asparagus is planted. Raining again. Just passed 1" in the last 24 hours]

We're in a bit of a drought here. Grand Rapids, 35 miles to the west, has had FEET more snow than we got this winter. We've had maaaaybe 24" over the winter...? No rain in the 8 day forecast, and the one inch we were supposed to get last week was probably about half that.

I really hope this is not a sign of things to come. Or not to come.

That is a dreadful sadness

When you find it let me know? I need some, too.

I'm usually good till about 3-4 pm, and then I coast downhill from there. And I don't dare drink any coffee that late.

Dang. I just went to the store today. I should have looked for a bottle of Oomph.
