I mentioned in my last post that one of the things that I wanted to get accomplished on this first day of spring was to bottle our newest beer. I will start off by saying this task did not get completed. And it was for entirely practical reasons. We have 8 beers left in our first batch and I need those bottles. But if you are interested in reading about the eventual progress, don't forget to check out my beer blog. With that being said, here is the evidence of what I did do today.
We started our day by heading out to gather our supplies. We stopped at Whole Foods to get some organic potatoes to be able to plant in our new balcony container garden. While we were there, we picked up some tilapia, and fresh beans to make for our Spring Equinox dinner (which Matt will be starting shortly). We will also roast up the remaining fingerling potatoes that we didn't plant. I also grabbed some cut daffodils to decorate the altar and the house. Then we stopped by a garden supply store and picked up containers, top soil, fertilizer, a shovel and our plans. We chose tomatoes, sweet banana peppers, and jalapeno peppers to go with our fingerling potatoes.
When we got home, I started by putting the flowers on the altar for Persephone. We also cracked open a beer, which I am sharing with her as well. It isn't a homebrew, but I still felt it was an appropriate offering.
Then, Matt and I got to work with our balcony garden.
Praise to Persephone and may she bless our newly planted green growing things.
