There’s more I want to write about than I have time for, so planting update it is. Continue reading “16th June Plantings Update”
Statuses
First corn sighting
After we picked up our second rain barrel today, we went out to plant the remaining starters I had purchased prior, and I noticed what looks like an awfully promising baby stalk of corn breaching the ground. This made me so happy.
One of our tomato seed spots seemed a bit dug up. I’m glad I used the toilet tissue rolls, as that seems to have deterred the digger from doing more than unearthing down to the top of the roll. Time will tell.
A third scarlet runner appears…
The third scarlet runner bean unfurled above the dirt line today. No sign of the third black turtle bean, though.
11 June Plantings update.
I updated the “planting soon” list & 2018 Plantings page.
Two of three black turtle beans have broken through, as have two of three scarlet runner beans. No sign of life yet from the corn–still worried the Acorn Bombers got those. I caught one sniffing around the strawberries today. You bet I shooed it! Continue reading “11 June Plantings update.”
Paid for the second rain barrel today
Here you pay for a rain barrel in one place (City Hall), and then pick up in another (transfer station). The pick up place isn’t open as many days of the week as the pay place.
But it’s paid for, and that’s one less thing on the check box.
Woo! Unexpected progress…
My partner somehow didn’t get called in today, so we started building our first kitchen garden bed where there will be peas and corn and other things. It was hard to get an angle where you could see the rough width, length from the window, but it’s not finished yet anyhoo. We’re on break now, and about to head back out to finish digging a bit, then we’ll fill with wood and see how tired we are. It’s been a long day for us. Continue reading “Woo! Unexpected progress…”
Walk around, shuffling plans
Didn’t get a lot done today, but we did do a walk around, and roughly planned out this month’s projects and what might not get touched upon until next month. Continue reading “Walk around, shuffling plans”
Rain delay
I did get some time outside today, but not as much as I’d like thanks to the rain I wasn’t expecting to last near as long as it did. Continue reading “Rain delay”
Rain barrel(s) mini update
I’m sneaking this in and fudging the post date because I meant to write it (yesterday), but I’m really writing it now because I got caught up in something and realized too late it was past midnight. Continue reading “Rain barrel(s) mini update”
