Now that it stopped raining on me, I got a LOT done, today!
12 broccoli plants are IN!
3 cherry tomatoes and two Jalapenos are in pots.
Did some needed weeding.
Finished mowing the garden area lawn.
No cucumber plants at Walmart and I have no cucumber seed on hand, so we’ll be cucumber-less this year. Gee. You can buy them 10 for a nickle all summer, LOL!
Draining frozen zucchini from the freezer to make Zucchini Bread.
Watered houseplants. Moved the Bay Laurel to the greenhouse where she’ll be much happier.
Found my soil thermometer. The soil is only at 60 degrees, so it needs to be 65-70 to get my bean seeds in, so another week should do it. Will be growing Lena Sisco Bird Egg beans for drying, Saychelles green pole, Good Mother Stollard pole beans for drying and Scarlet Runner Beans for the Hummingbirds. I also have a spot for some Ruby Moon Hyacinth Bean, but they’re also for the Hummers - not edible unless you process them a special way. Not risking DEATH over it!
Mom and friend Kathy are coming out on the 31st to help plant the tomatoes. I’ll get the sweet peppers in next week.
Harvested enough Asparagus to add to scrambled eggs in the morning. I’ll let the rest now go to frond.
Dumped the compost bucket.
Got newspapers ready to shred for composting use.
Next on the list is a shower, LOL! Then more clothes sorting and donating and getting the guest bedroom ready for Mick this Friday.
Still need to put in Gladiolus bulbs; I think I’ll do two long rows on either side of the new Asparagus bed - they won’t bother anything happening underground there. I’ll put a stake at each end and ‘string’ them up as they grow taller.
I still have a flat each of Zinnia and Marigolds to tuck in here and there when the tomatoes go in - they need to get a bit bigger.
I think that’s all. There’s probably more. ;)
The rain has begun here. We had a gully washer T-storm about an hour ago. My rain app is saying we’ve had 1.12 inches in the last 24 hours. This doesn’t help the groundwater situation, but I don’t have to water my bushes.
