Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

Instead of weeding, I pruned some of the grape vines. I also took several cuttings to start more grape vines because I have been giving several of them away this year. Usually I just let them grow all over the place because I'm only growing them for the leaves. They were starting to climb up into the citrus trees, so I lopped them back. I have too many aloe plants too, but everyone here has too many aloes, and I can't seem to give those away. I also have several elephant food plants, but not so many that I need to get rid of any. They do good in the rock gardens... Not to be confused with the elephant garlic.

As I said, I found a package of botem round beef on sale at the store on Monday. It was a vary large package, and I cut the slabs into manageable sized steaks, baged them and put them in the freezer. I kept a large stake in the fridge, though, and I had that for dinner today. It was good. I didn't do anything interesting to it while cooking it, just cooked it like a pot roast with salt and a little seasoning. Then I had an oatmeal cookie with honey on it. I guess I could have put a little honey on the steak, but I was feeling bland at the time... I still am.
