Last nice day for the the next 10-14 days. Most of the snow is gone, and the mud almost dried out, except in the garden & other cultivated areas. Be glad when the tractor starter problem is repaired, and I can regrade the driveways.
I “harvested” the last usable Brussels sprouts from the stored stalks today; rest is rabbit & bird food.
Cat grass in the coffee can is still doing great; best batch ever for us.
Yesterday, I finally got 9 sprouted peach pits into potting soil in 2 of the plastic containers we bought for seed starting. Ten more that haven’t sprouted yet got the shells cracked, and put back into their baggie of damp potting mix in the veggie drawer of the fridge.
After watching some Youtube videos, I’m planning on using chipped bark & pine cones (if I can’t get any sawdust from the local mill) to mix with sand for the sweet potato experiment. It’s harder to chip stuff since the transmission went out on the older of the 2 tillers; it’s a Troy PTO chipper, so to use it I have to swap it with the tines unit. As much as I use the tiller in the garden areas, it’s hard to work it into the schedule.
I wish we had a chipper of any kind, but we don’t. We are also going to get some more cold weather, so I am drinking in the nice weather while I can.
I planted the three pots with the potatoes according to the directions and put them outside on the deck, watered them, and covered them with a big glob of netting so squirrels/birds could not get to the potatoes.
I hate squirrels if you didn’t know.
