Spent a good bit of time working on the driveway. I've put down ~50 ton of crushed limestone so far this spring, and probably will need at least that much again to get it back in tip-top shape. It was a rough winter.
Bird feeder gangsta #6 was apprehended this week. Freezers are full so this one went into the crock pot yesterday.
It was good timing for dry weather. The weeds were getting bad and my tomato plants were getting to the size they needed to be in the ground. It's a little bit early to put them out, but next weekend is going to be busy so #1 Marine daughter, and new college graduate, Leah came over yesterday morning and helped me knock it out. I tilled the whole thing while Leah finished cleaning up the cages, then we planted and caged 24, and planted 2 more in the perimeter fence. I still have two Sweet 100 cherries to plant, but I can't decide where to put them.
The green salad that I planted earlier is just about big enough to start picking. Sowed 15' row of spinach and 3x15' row of beet seeds after we finished with the tomato plants yesterday. I've got more stuff that could go in now, but my back said wait til another day.
The weather was perfect for transplanting, warm but not hot, and cloudy. The rain came a couple hours after we finished, warm, slow and gentle, and stuck around into the night. If we don't have a late frost I should be set up for BLTs on the 4th of July.
