daidoji_giseiI did not ride my exercise bike today. Mostly this was because I needed that time to garden, and since gardening is also a physical activity I decided I was covered for the day. This has the beneficial side effect of allowing time for my bun-bones to heal up. I was expecting to have soreness in my calves and thighs from this, but no: all the soreness so far comes from sitting on the bike seat!
So today I planted edible podded peas, spinach, two kinds of carrots and radishes. Lots of radishes. But they are of three different varieties, so in theory they should give me a harvest spread out in time. Still to come this week is dandelions, sugar snap peas, and various greens of the brassica tribe. Oh, and arugula and maybe lettuce. I'm not all that fond of lettuce, but it is edible and it's not a nightshade, a legume, or a brassica, and that is becoming important for crop rotation purposes.
