Chuck's picture corner to April 12, 2026

It's been another week of below average temperatures in Cardinal, we even had a little snow. My week has been focused on gardening, outside when it's warm enough, and inside planting up my seed flats into cell flats. I had to order more cell flats after years of reusing the old ones. The household windows are quite close to full, soon flats that are ready will head out to the unheated barn windows. I'm hoping for at least average temps if not I'll have to set up a few more lights. The barn keeps night time temps 5 deg. c warmer than outside, a thin margin.

Wsw facing window in the back room. Where the seed flats wait for planting up into cell packs.

The dining room wsw facing window with still a little space left, the seed flats are cauliflower and cabbage.

re vacuuming my spice jar after making meat sauce.

spaghetti sauce essentials, and mushrooms of course, lol

herbs from the garden to spice up the sauce, each one has a health benefit, directly or through feeding (or killing) the gut microbiome.  Oregano is a super anti bacterial. Rosemary I pick fresh from the plant growing in a window.
