Kimchi Stew & Gardening -- Thrift Day, 21st of Flowering, Year 225

I made kimchi jjigae again today, since it's easy and [personal profile] quigonejinn's post made me think about it. Plenty spicy, but great with rice.

I've started more seeds -- hopefully I'll have some transplantable tomatillos soon. They go like gangbusters when they reach size, but they're incredible fragile when they've just started. Also, I'm trying even more bean varieties -- Flor de Mayo and Sangre del Toro -- which I hope will be productive. It's supposed to rain starting tomorrow through Saturday, so it might be worth it to scatter a few in the ground and see if they do fine on their own.

Oh, and thrift is Armeria maritima; I don't know if I've ever seen it in the wild, and certainly not under that name.

Hurray for kimchi jjigae! Especially on a rainy Saturday!

Which is to say that I may have gone into your DW and read, with particular great interest, your posts about gardening and growing heirloom beans and the mystery bean. It totally made a dreary day better.
