Got a little side-tracked over the weekend by the SNOW! 1 1/2" Saturday evening. It had melted by Sunday afternoon and I had managed to cover most of the crops with drop-cloths or leaves or flowerpots, so it was a minor blip. Even the uncovered peas look fine.
BUT- considering that last year's spring was almost as cool and wet, it might be a good idea to push back all warm/hot weather crop planting dates by a week or two.
Finished weeding the paths.
Weeded under the bench and put down fresh weed-block.
Weeded all back beds.
T/P bell pepper (green), eggplant and basil
Finished trellisses for driveway fence.
Painted iron pyramid and plant hanger, black.
Constructed and planted potato tower (with help from O). See separate post.
To-do:
Finish raking side beds.
Add 2 bags leaves to leaf corral
Attach trellises
Fill containers with dirt for potato tower build-up
Plant: cucumber, corn, radishes, sunflowers, zinnias, nasturtiums
T/P: cilantro
Plant blessed wheat in all bed corners
Cannot express what a welcome diversion working in the garden was today, after the politcal horrors of yesterday. The meditation of weeding, planting, and puttering is so calming and satisfying- such a positive action in the face of so much discouragement and negativity.
