“Seeding every tray I have this weekend.”

Yay! Rumor has it that some of the puppies will be finding new homes within the next few weeks, so I may be able to plant some things outside versus just greenhouse growing.

Either way, I’m waiting to get my second wind as it were. Still have grapes to juice and waaaaaay too many apples to deal with - which makes the mule happy at least. ;)

Grapes, apples.....Wine and hard cider! Another thing you could make at home, but I generally prefer leaving something like this to the pros.

Wine brings to mind Herrman MO, Missouri's wine growing region located on the Missouri River not far from St. Louis. I will be going there in September for a couple of days and get together with my brothers and sister. I anticipate enjoying some good German food and drink.
