slowcala's blog: That Million Dollar Spaghetti Receipt

OMG! I forgot to tell you that there is Ground Beef & Italian Sausage in there. Sorry about that. Some of you were thinking it was Vegan, right!

Ok, I finished the concrete steppingstone walkway after my morning walk. BTW, that walk has got my body all kinds of sore. I have sore feet, knees, and hips. The hips are from bending to work and pick up gravel. I planted the remainder of the Fire Spike this morning also. I now have 3 pods of it in the yard.

We are going to watch the Eclipse tomorrow with Ray. She has glasses and tells me it will be a 57% eclipse only for us in Florida. Some of my neighbors went to Indiana to get the Total Eclipse.

I planted some chitted potato peels this morning where the bunnies had eaten the tops off them. There were tiny little dime sized potatoes in the mound, but I left them on the ground for the critters. I replaced the wire cage over the hole so the bunnies can't get to them again. I only learned this year how to plant potatoes. You put the seed potatoes in the small hole and cover them with some soil and either water or plant before a rain. Then when the stems start growing you add some soil all around them and water some more or get rain. When they get more growth, you continue to build up the soil into a mound. This mound will hold all the big potatoes that are growing. I never knew how to do it before and that is why I never had potatoes. Gosh! Shucks! Why didn't I pay closer attention when mom was planting potatoes. After all, she was planting and digging them in the day that I was born.

Beautiful, gorgeous day here and a sunny 68 degrees. Now, how you gonna beat that? Peace & Plenty. Do you smell my Pot Roast?
