The weather is wonderfully dreary. Personally my favorite, grey skies and gloom reveal my inner Addams. *snap snap*
Does mean it’s slow going in the garden however. But it means it’s the perfect time to pick up some supplies for the spring.
Specifically pots!
A very wonderful family friend has been giving me gift cards to my local garden center all last year, and I cashed them in on three new tomato pots!
Nice and deep- heavy, should drain well… gift cards well spent!
I mean, it’s gonna be a few months before any pot sees a tomato, but it’s good to get your proverbial ducks in a row. Stuff gonna get real busy come April, so I’m getting my beds and pots and seeds now.
I also got a new Oregano.
The old oregano looks terrible so it’s time for it to be replaced. This is one of the garden herbs I tend to use a lot of, so I always have to be on top of the plant. I’m not putting it in until tomorrow however, when it’s a little drier.
In other news I picked some of the weird stemmy Bok Choy for dinner tonight.
Weird looking- but yummy.
It’s still soaking in some water, like all greens it needs a good wash. Definitely lost a few leaves to the bugs, but the weird stalks are perfectly edible, I just cut them into chunks and halved them lengthwise so they would cook better. I’m still on the fence between just sautéing them as usual or maybe trying to make a Cole slaw.
Maybe I’ll save the slaw idea for one of the Joi Choi’s. But it’s nice to know as weird as these Rosy Choi’s look, they’re tasty!

Love that one new pot on the right! Your garden looks so fun. I miss that climate out there!
Thank you! Rain is lovely when you’re in a state prone to drought that’s for sure- does hamper my gardening efforts a little bit though 😆
