December Harvest

 

Most of my little vegetable patch is napping.  Like busy toddlers, though, there are a few still awake in December.






These are Scarlet Nantez carrot tops.  I've been looking at recipes for carrot top pesto.  Do you have any suggestions?


There is still plenty of garlic!


Lots of radishes continue to grow.  The little red ones are my favorite.  These seeds are Early Scarlet Globe radish.


This handsome plant is Raggedy Jack Kale.  What a spectacular color combo!  I planted it on the shadier end of my garden in early Spring and was pleased with an entire season of production.  'Definitely planting this performer again.  What are your favorite recipes for kale?

Harvesting any time of year is so gratifying, but it feels like a special treat to have something in December!  What's growing where you are?

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

This project has already failed twice.  TWICE!   Originally, I wanted to create a sustainable gazing ball that could be used for many seasons.  A beautiful glass gazing ball has been purchased for my garden every year and every year something happens to break it.  There has to be a better way!
