The Last of the Spinach


It's the last of my spinach and it looks good. My mother n law likes to boil it for about 10 minutes. I have never boiled it before just steamed. She did this last night and it was very good. When we have steamed the spinach they did tasteda little bitter but not when you boil it.

Peppers!

Last week we built some mini hot houses for the peppers and tomato's in the garden. Here in Seattle it doesn't get hot enough for those peppers so i hope this will do the trick. So far i think this is helping. I have already seen the temp in side of the hot house get to 110 F!
