Planting has finally started! I’m at least a month behind, but the tilling is finally done, and I’m poking seeds in the ground between rainstorms.
One of the local turtles started planting ahead of me. I was out tilling and spotted her laying eggs in the corner of my field. I marked out the area so they aren’t disturbed. I’m actually rather impressed that she walked so far, my field is at the top of a very steep hill, quite a ways from the river!
My original plan was to camp on my farm so I could get more work done. Heat sickness plus problems with my campsite have put a dent in that plan. I’ll try again after planting is done, but for now I’m working at night and sleeping during the day. I get more done in the cooler temperatures.
I’ve kind of been banning myself from the computer except when it rains, so I probably won’t be around much, even when I’m not camping. Then again, as often as it’s been raining, I might be around enough no one will notice!
I know where to find you, and I can always CALL YOUR MOM, LOL!
I wish the weather was better for you this season but you’re making great progress. My tomatoes and peppers are just SITTING THERE, but salad greens are growing like there’s no tomorrow. They are loving this cool, wet spring so far.
I don’t even want to THINK about what Summer may bring us...if She ever arrives. Probably straight to Hot & Dry. I guess we’ll know in 9 short days! ;)
