Maybe it will be friends with me?

Statuses

Garden Growth–9th May, 2019

Violas are starting to open flower which is a relief because I’ve been watching early pollinators hunting for food, the dandelions we’re allowing to grow aren’t far behind.  Broke just over 60°F again, and no more 30° range drops at night predicted for a while.

Garden Growth–8th May, 2019

Keenly aware of our predicted 122 day growing season, we’re itching to get more into the ground.  At the same time, we’re trying to not repeat mistakes from last year which means more work being put into beds to make sure they are as hospitable as we can manage this year.  Another sunny day in which my partner was home early helped.  High at about mid 60s°F.

Garden Growth–4th May, 2019

Rainy day, which was fine as I had a lot of errands and inside the house things to do.  Temperatures made it up to the 60°F range, and as last night, another night hovering in the 50s. Continue reading “Garden Growth–4th May, 2019” →

Garden Growth–2nd May, 2019

So many berry creepers.  Almost regret letting them do their thing last year, but in truth they’re not hard to thin out, especially when you get tired of getting tripped by them! Continue reading “Garden Growth–2nd May, 2019” →
