Mowed the grass/weeds/feral plants around the garden today and discovered that cilantro is as persistent a weed as parsley. It was all over the garden space. Hopefully that means that I won't have to plant it again and they both provide the bonus of a wonderful fragrance especially when mowed down!<br />

The lettuce is basically done. A few leaves can still be picked and the bed needs to be cleaned out.<br />

All the garlic was pulled yesterday. For a crop not recommended for this area, it did very well. Our winters are not considered cold enough for good garlic bulb formation. But last winter was very mild and it appears to have done fine. So, more garlic for cooking!<br />

Tomatoes are growing, blooming and setting fruit. Temperatures continue to see-saw but no apparent problems. Pleased with the ollas. (Ollas explained <a href="http://drippingreen.blogspot.com/2013/03/garden-report-03072013.html" target="_blank">here</a>) Water required to keep the bed moist is much less than using above ground watering.<br />
<br />
Cucumbers are slow getting started but are growing. Think they need some real warm weather. <br />
Blackberries are starting to ripen.<br />

Dug one of the <b>garlic </b>bulbs because there were small cloves starting to form on the stalk/neck. My research tells me that there is no harm in the cloves forming in the neck. I was very pleasantly surprised with the size of the underground clove and will leave the rest in the ground for a while longer.<br />

Currently producing includes lettuce, green onions, asparagus and radishes. Lots and lots of lettuce.<br />
<br />
Tomato plants required protection for two nights this week with lows in the mid 30s but they made it safely and now the temperatures are rising.<br />
<br />
Sprouted or transplanted: garlic, tomatoes, peppers, carrots and leeks.<br />
<br />
Cucumbers are not up yet.<br />
<br />
Planted the remaining garden today. Zucchini (3 varieties), tomatillos, watermelon and several flower varieties. Never had any luck with melons. I think the soil is too alkaline and too heavy but will try one more time.<br />
<br />
Fig tree and blackberries are leafing out, pear trees are blooming.<br />

Today was the day.</h3>
<br />
Put tomatoes and peppers out in the garden. (Old pots with bottom removed are placed around newly set out plants to protect them from the wind.)<br />
<br />
Also planted cucumbers seed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Trying something new this year. Ollas, unglazed ceramic pots that are buried and filled with water. Kind of pricey so I only bought two large ones to try out this year. More info available here - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olla" target="_blank">wiki entry</a> and <a href="http://drippingspringsollas.com/" target="_blank">local vendor</a>.<br />

So far January's rain came on the 8th/9th totaling almost 1"</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parsley is coming up everywhere in the garden. It must be considered an invasive. </span><br />

Three days of near-continuous, slow, gentle rain totaling over 2.5 inches and temperatures have dropped to highs in the 40's.<br />
<br />
Today is cool, 42º at 1:00pm. No freeze yet but do have at least two predicted for this week. There are still a few tomatoes and peppers in the garden to be picked. Lettuce and spinach have sprouted with the rains so perhaps we will have fresh greens in the coming months.<br />

To my surprise, I found a huge tomato worm on one of the rather pitiful fall tomato plants. He waited patiently while I went back inside for the camera and then posed very still while I took the shots. Appreciated but his mistake.<br />

The first freeze warning of the season is predicted for tonight. It should only be a light freeze or more likely just near freezing. <span id="goog_544146484"></span><br />
<br />
Regardless, it was time to move the potted plants. The most tender came inside the house but most remained outside in a protected location on the back porch. <br />
<br />
The back porch faces east and gets sun until early afternoon so it is the warmest place outside the house. A good thing in the winter but so not a good thing in the summer. Normally, the west side would be warmest but here the west side is shaded by large oak trees so without direct sun it is not as warm.<br />

The pepper plants are still loaded with peppers so I picked what was ready and left the immature peppers to their fate. If they freeze, oh well, I guessed wrong.<br />
<br />
The sweet peppers, I can deal with but there were just too many hot peppers for us. The Jalapeno peppers and New Mexico Big Jim peppers have both done very well in the heat and drought. <br />
<br />
A quick phone call to the chef at one of the local restaurants, <a href="http://www.thymeanddough.com/">Rolling in Thyme & Dough</a>, and the peppers were an ingredient in Bistro night Pepper Stew. It's refreshing to discover that the barter system can still be used Drippin'. We haven't outgrown that country practice, yet.

On Oct 8th and 9th, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">3 inches</span></b> of glorious, much needed rain fell on Dripping Springs. A few days later, the rain flowers popped out in celebration of the moisture. The long range <a href="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/expert_assessment/seasonal_drought.pdf" target="_blank">forecast</a>, however, indicates that the drought will continue at least through the winter. <br />
<br />
Our temperatures cooled from the brutal summer highs but we are still having frequent days in the upper 80°F. The AC was turned off for several days but has been turned back on when the daytime temperatures rose and the humidity returned. <br />

Most of the pumpkins are harvested. When I cut the first pumpkin for cooking, I discovered that just because the pumpkin is orange, it isn't necessarily ripe. So, I adopted the practice of letting them cure/ripen on the counter in the kitchen for 7-10 days before cooking.<br />
<br />
There is a steady supply of Pumpkin bread and I discovered a Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake recipe that is yummy. Also, I cooked and froze 4 cups of pumpkin pulp for Thanksgiving pies.<br />

I question the wisdom of using the water but so far haven't stopped. <br />
<br />
The peppers, both sweet and hot, are still covered with fruit.<br />

I planted green onions in the garden and cilantro in pots.

</tbody></table>With the cooler temperatures, I have resumed the much delayed task of refinishing and caning the dining table chairs. I found the dining room set on craigslist and was delighted to discover a uniquely carved oak set with 6 chairs. We got the set home and I started the project promptly but that was two years ago and only 1 of the chairs has been refinished and caned. My excuse is that I wasn't sure the cane seat would survive use so let's call it a testing period. Seriously, I did worry that the cane would split or break but, after 2 years, the one finished chair is intact so the project can go on!<br />

The chairs need the blackened lacquer removed first and then new lacquer applied. Furniture refinishing, while messy and smelly, is not difficult. Some patience required and acceptance that the furniture is old therefore scratches, cracks and color differences are part of the appeal.<div><br />

<br />
I did keep the a garden alive through the record breaking summer and have a few pumpkins as well as both sweet and hot peppers to show for the water bill. The fall tomatoes are blooming but haven't set any fruit yet. <br />

<br />
Recipe: Compliments of <a href="http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2009/01/mozzarella">Condé Nast Digital</a> and for the <a href="http://www.gourmet.com/food/2009/01/the-recipe-fresh-mozzarella">story</a> behind the recipe.<br />
Ingredients: Required a trip to Central Market (ok, twist my arm) for rennet and citric acid. No source for buffalo milk so settled for organic cow's milk.<br />
<br />
There are lots of recipes for Mozzarella cheese, some claiming that you can have a finished product in less than 2 hours but I chose the one that discusses failed attempts and purporting to have the answers. It was not a 2 hour process, closer to 7 hours. As I worked my way through the detailed, meticulous steps, I realized this recipe was the perfect example of "cooking for engineers"; the complete opposite of my usual style in the kitchen. What recipe calls for 1 1/8 teaspoon of anything? But cheese making is completely new to me, so with no sense of appropriate or right, the detail was helpful.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>Aside from a good recipe, the key to the process appears to be your ability to keep milk within a 4 degree temperature range for hours on end. Not hard, just painfully demanding of your attention.<br />
<br />
Initially the milk did not curdle to the "soft pudding" consistency. After some research, I discovered that Junket rennet, the brand available from Central Market, is not recommended for cheese making. So, based on the recipes in the Junket package, I increased the rennet to 1/2 tablet of Junket and waited another 30 minutes. The process then continued as described in the recipe. Cutting the curds, allowing them to sit undisturbed for increasingly long periods of time, straining the curds into cheesecloth and allowing to drain. The final steps of pouring hot water over small portion of curds and working with your hands appears to require precise temperature control and practice but I did get it to reach a sort of elastic state. It was not completely smooth but I deemed it passable after the hours spent on the process. <br />

</tbody></table><br />
After cooling and serving with fresh tomatoes, my verdict is -- way too much trouble for result. It was good, but no better than mozzarella that I can buy at the store. <br />
<br />
I would try again if raw cows (or water buffalo) milk was available but processed milk seems to lack the fat content and flavor to produce a good mozzarella. <br />
<br />
It was an interesting experiment. Anyone need rennet tablets? I have lots.<br />

</tbody></table>Luck did not deliver rain on July 1st or 2nd either.<br />
<br />
It was 99° at 1:00pm in Austin today, too hot.<br />
<br />
But the sage is blooming, bright pink clusters almost obscuring the more familiar silver foliage. <br />
Local folklore maintains that blooming sage is a reliable rain forecast. <br />
Let's hope that folklore is right this time rather than the old-timer who told me that the plant is also known as the "Lyin' bush". <br />

</tbody></table>All manner of crawling and flying pests have descended on the garden. Birds and bugs abound. Nets have been placed on the tomatoes but they still manage to peck holes in some and I pick off as many bugs as I have the patience to find. The grasshoppers, however, I have no defense for. The grasshoppers are currently still small but it's a race: the heat, drought or grasshoppers.<br />
The anoles have not abandoned the garden and help keep the bugs down, at least the small bugs. I am not sure why this one was still brown as they do change to bright green. Could the heat slow down that mechanism, as well?<br />
