E. coli Evaded

You can see in this picture that due to all the rain, we haven't been outside getting at the chick weed lately. This weekend John plans to harvest the last of the veggies and till up the entire garden. Then he is going to use his flame thrower to burn any remaining pests out of the dirt, and their eggs with them, because gardening just isn't fun unless you finish the whole shebang off with some fire and some tiny bugs screaming in agony. This will be the last of our stellar double crop of spinach, then. We usually eat spinach 5 times a week, year-round, so we were glad that we had been eating our own spinach this summer and had thus avoided any E. coli concerns. We've blanched many packages of ours to last us well into the winter.
