Old-fashioned pot roast

[Thomas]

KC,

I may have a spare fig tree cutting this spring...

None of you have seen our new greenhouse. Anne and I erected the sucker ourselves, and the marriage survived it!

Our plan is to grow vegetables in winter, which we are thus far doing: swiss chard, arugula, typhon greens, parsley, and others I can't remember this early in the day.

We also have some herbs in there: thyme, sage, laurel, rosemary.

And, I've transported the fig trees to the greenhouse.

It's a marvel. Every day I check the min/max temperatures of the day before and compare them to the actual outside temperatures of that day, so that I can get a one-year idea of the general shape of relationship and then figure over time which plants can make it in there during winter.

If it works, we will expand and start a greenery business. We are already considering an herb de Provence business, as we grow the herbs that go into it.

Maybe retirement is in the cards!
