Ack, couldn't take it anymore so threw out some cucumber seeds just now and hooked up the water hose. Hey, the Farmers’ Almanac said root crops and transplants today but barren days tomorrow. Maybe not roots but the upcoming barren days is my excuse.

While out there, my wild cat came to see what I was up to while things in the neighborhood are quiet. Between us tilling and the neighbors drilling and big tractor trailers driving through for some reason, she's been skiddish. Did I tell y'all she had her kittens? I don't know where she's keeping them but she better think about bringing them closer to the house what with everything going on around here.

I just saw our resident wild cat out rooting around the garden. She is coal black, usually has kittens hidden somewhere, and she catches squirrels. Can’t get within 60 feet if her, and don’t really want to.

Whew, just got back in from double digging another bed. Ok down to 12 feet, but that 2cnd foot was really tough. settled for another 8 inches or so. Mixed some leaves and hay in with the bottom and replaced the top soil. Now it’s ready for compost.

So that takes care of the beds for carrots, onions, beets, and potatoes, tommatoes and peppers. Next up is lettuce then corn, and grains. Probably growing cukes and melons in containers this year.
