Okay, since it’s in the 80’s here today, and it’s plant by the moon day for above ground crops, I planted wa wa tsai (miniature chinese cabbage), and toy choi (miniature pak choy) today. I also put up a second cattle panel for my hoop house/texas prepper’s green house.

So, I now have an eight by eight cattle panel hoop...It didn’t seem to be as heavy and back breaking as the first one I put up over a month ago..
I am guessing it’s not that I am stronger, but that the temperature isn’t in the high 90’s. Also, it’s overcast, and the sun wasn’t beating down on me like it was with the first one.

Oh, and last night we had a nice shower. My rain barrel is full. And the free nitrogen greens up things nicely.

I picked a bunch of peppers and some tomatoes yesterday in the heat, and dug a few spuds, and trimmed yellow leaves off the tomatoes.

Was going to get out early this AM to do some more of the same, and water everything, but we had showers, so I have an excuse to stay in and let mother nature do her thing.LOL
