That last package has four fillets and all of the 'fish cheeks' which are like yummy bits of lobster. It was during the spawn so they were allowed two fish per man per day.
It’s been cool here in Central Missouri over the past week. Cool enough there was a bit of frost in some of the low-lying areas a couple nights ago. I moved my tomato plants into the potting shed for that.
Planted two varieties of cucumber seed on Friday, and tossed some dill seed on the ground in a corner of the garden. I usually have plenty of volunteer dill, but it invariably comes up in a place that I want to plant something else and winds up getting plowed under.
We pulled the cannas and elephant ears out of storage and have been sticking roots in the ground all over the place. I put ten or a dozen cannas on the pond dam. I want to put some iris out there too, but I need to wait until they’ve finished blooming to move them.
The new rhubarb looks good a week after being shoved into the dirt. I’ve not had good luck getting potted rhubarb to survive, so this time I used some rooting hormone. It’s still too soon to know for sure if it’s going to go, but it looks good so far.
Mrs. Augie and I were supposed to be on the beach in sunny Florida right now, but the covid panic wrecked that, so we’re having a nice stay-cation here instead. We’ve taken the boat out on the Missouri River a couple times, and caught a nice mess of bluegills out of a neighbor’s farm pond. Might go boating again today. Waiting to see if it’s going to warm up enough for it to be comfortable on the water...
