As it usually happens, you think something will take a certain amount of time .... and it takes LONGER. Sigh. I spent 4 hours on the mower without any breaks; however, all of the place is now mowed ... every bit of it.
I got 2 of the 3 flower beds planted that I had on the ‘to do’ list & along with the mowing, that was a fairly large accomplishment. Rain tomorrow with warm(er) daily temps coming up, so maybe I’ll get some good germination & quick growth.
Today was the first day my tomatoes were outside (planted late yesterday) - I did not acclimate them because the weather has been pretty cool & windy so I kept them inside. They got through the night ok (we had a frost) with their bucket covers, but they got a bit sunburned today when I left the buckets off. It was a partly cloudy day so I thought they’d be ok, but some of the leaves are a bit pale. I hope it doesn’t set them back too much - I’ll have to be more careful & just expose them early morning & evening & extend the time gradually over the next week.
For those of you who are interested in vegetable gardening, homesteading, foraging, DIY or prepping FReeper Oshkalaboomboom keeps a Knowledge Base of information many of you might find very helpful, especially in trying times.
It is organized in directories with a directory list in each one so you can get the list, see what interests you, skip over what doesn’t then come back and download it to your home, all at no cost other than a polite word of thanks if you find anything useful.
Send him a PM saying that you would like to access the Knowledge Base and he will send you a link with an access code.
