I got the artichokes, horseradish, and some potatoes planted. Also planted some lettuce, carrots, beets, salsify, and lavender. I put out some compost and turned the pile.

I didn’t dig the whole blueberry bed...I settled for digging out 2’ holes around where they’ll be planted in a couple of weeks.

Wow, you were busy! I’ve been outside digging up those darn wild onions but the wind is just too fierce. Had to bring a floor fan up ‘cause Gypsy’s panting. We may shave her tummy again when the weather heats up for good.

The backyard is so perplexing. On the south side, we’ve got really deep shade from the silver maples next door, which would great for building a brick patio, since nothing will grow there. Except, when the sun goes down in the west, that same area becomes this shining blast furnace because of the ~holes~ in the tree limbs and the dang 6’ wooden fence which holds the heat in. As it is, it is ugly, ugly, ugly.

Now that I’m in, I think I’ll take a nap. OB is at the muzzleloadingrange.
