I taught a quick class on basic bicycle maintenance at the Sustainable Ballard festival today, and gave a couple people the houseofcranks.com URL as a place to get notes from the class. Unfortunately, I forgot to add a link to the class notes. And I’m not quite sure how to do that in the site menu, so until I get that working, here’s a link: Bicycle Maintenance 101 class notes

- planted two rosemaries in pots. Maybe if I overwinter them inside one year, they'll be big enough to survive future winters outside.
- Put up some old tanglefoot codling moth traps in the apple tree. The pheromones are probably toast by now, but hey. (Should've frozen 'em.)
- The plan: dry plums, eat over the winter. The reality: dry plums, eat immediately.
- All those gross old coffee grounds that were sitting around in bags in the back yard for months still had it in 'em: compost is 132F.
- Cover-cropped the shady back raised bed. Josh made a compost bin while I made encouraging noises. (That counts as helping, right?)
- Principe Borghese is a lot better dried; still, probably not on my must-grow list.
