Merry meet all,
I’m excited to be out in the garden! My beans have sprouted and starting to show their leaves. I plan to grow a lot of beans and dry them, then save them to use to make a rattle. My peas are growing well. I set up a trellis in the pot with the peas. The Fundy Amethyst beans are bush beans and won’t need a trellis. I planted radish seeds today. Morning glory seeds are soaking in a small bowl of water.
My motherwort seedling that I began from seed is growing well. I want to let it grow more leaves before I put it in the garden. I planted radishes too and I may plant radishes every few weeks all summer. I love radishes and red onions. That with my parsley, chives and purple basil tells me I am in for tasty treats. My red onions love the soil in the garden box and are growing so well. Everything is growing beautifully and is so lush and green. I just love being in the garden. I bought potato starts today and I am excited to get that started.
Today it’s rainy and cold, typical Maritimes. The sun hides behind a mantle of grey clouds. The fog veils buildings. I like fog, and I am sure I am an old soul, because I like the way that fog looks and how it creates mystery. I’m reading a fascinating novel titled Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry. I’m really enjoying it so far. I am almost finished reading it. Great book. I want the good guys to win!
The skies are heavy and the streets are soaked from rain, yet the Summer Solstice is almost here. I cam just hope. I want to go to the nature trail to dig up St. John’s Wort for my Mom. I may see if it is ready for that this week if the sun ever shines again. ESSNS is holding a summer Rit, we might have a yard sale if the weather cooperates and I want to head up to Into the Mystic at the end of the month.
Wow! I have just signed a contract with Dreamweaver Press, the imprint for Twisted Dreams Press! They will republish my book, The Cult of the Spider People. I am elated! The Cult of the Spider People will be published in August 2026, two months away! It’s a huge relief to know that my book will be sending shivers down readers’s spines on Amazon again!
Till next time
Blessings Spiderwitch
