I'm a little achy this evening.  C and I spent the morning in the veggie garden.  I had planted eight Golden Goddess tomatoes yesterday.  Today we put in six Romas and three Sweeties (cherry type) before we planted three rows of onions:  multipliers, yellow sets and Spanish.  Then we added five canteloupes, a row of peas and a short row of baby lettuce blend before I harvested asparagus and rhubarb.  We shared the asparagus with family and friends and still had lots for dinner this evening and tomorrow's meal as well.  I'm going to bake a rhubarb meringue pie tomorrow before I head back down to the farm to plant Swiss chard and beets.  I must remember sunscreen and insect repellent tomorrow.  The black flies took a few chunks out of me today.
