Thanks, I used to have hundreds of pics but some previous co-worker took them to allegedly show his boss to get me a job. Come to find out, he hadn't worked there in months, had a drug problem, lost his family and was probably using the pics to get himself a job somewhere.
Only pics I have are from when digital cameras became a thing and I bought one. General rule is that physical media is better than digital that can be lost with a PC crash. My situation ended up being the reverse of the norm. I had backups of the digital and I guess I should have done double prints of the physical. Once upon a time I might have had the negatives. The pics are of no use to me these days unless I moved close to a bustling city, something I was seriously thinking recently that I might have to do. Shudder
Was chilly this morning, wind chill in the high 30s so I stayed inside for a bit and made a bunch of my coffee creamer container pots.
Worked on bed 2 after that. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - L to R from here) Found my forked spade parts, rotted off wood handle and steel head. Made a new handle for the head out of chain link fence top rail tubing.
Scraped, and shoveled up a bunch of goat manure, mostly powdered.
Forked the bed every 4” and tilted the handle back and then forward which left me an open crack that I kicked manure into. Every three times of doing that, I’d stick the fork in sideways and tilt side to side so a little more manure got in there. Basically a 4” grid. About 300 fork stabs and my shoulders can tell.
Got the heat mats plugged up since it’s going to be in the high 30s tonight and the shed is my new seed starting room.
Will keep plugging away at the beds through Fri/Sat and buy mater/pepper plants Monday. Will be nice when the beds are done and all I have to do is use a mini-tiller to add a little compost to maintain them. Gotta burn some leaves tomorrow since it won’t be too windy.
When it’s al said and done, it will be a whopping 350 sq ft of growing area, but protected growing area.
