Lately I've been neglecting the blog a little. But that's because we've been extremely busy with the business of daily life.
Some new things we've been doing:
1. Fishing at McCoy's access. This is where the photo was taken, and it's about halfway between Bellefonte and Milesburg. A few years ago the Clear Water Conservancy removed the dam and restored the stream bed. The result is very good fishing, but for someone like myself who mostly just supports other people in fishing it's a great spot for reading and watching the sun set.
2. Planting stuff -- the Patchwork Farm tent at the Nittany Mall is closing shortly for the season, so everything is very economical. And, luckily, the plants I failed to raise from seed are among those on sale ! So, today we're planting foxglove and echinacea.
3. Harvesting stuff: growing in PA is a lot easier than growing in GA, probably because everything isn't getting dessicated by arid conditions mid-summer. Technically temps aren't far apart, but the wind in PA keeps the misery at a minimum. Currently we're just beginning to enjoy blueberries, strawberries, and hungarian wax peppers. We expect to be enjoying jalapenos and tomatoes soon, too.
