How many items on this "things to do" list did I check off today?
- Move the two shelving units from the bay window to the hoophouse.
- Clean bay window, put up curtains and return pillows to window seat.
- Use blower to clean garage floor.
- Water plants in house.
- Clean shed and put trash items near trailer.
- Put lawn care equipment and power washer in garage.
- Move indoor seedlings to the shelving units in the hoophouse.
- Water plants in hoophouse.
- Put outdoor rug under lounge chairs on deck.
- Fill eight 6-inch and seven 12-inch plastic pots with compost on deck to become containers of annual and perennial herbs.
- Organize tools in hoophouse.
- Begin spreading wood chips around new raised beds.
- Begin filling new raised beds with compost.
Would you guess all of it??? Yes, sir, it was a very big day at the farm!!!
|
Still needs organizing, but is so much better! |
|
The pots are still a mess, but at least all in one place. |
|
The step ladder is too big for the space; it was later swapped out for a small one from the basement. |
|
These lounge chairs are surprisingly comfortable. Can't wait for warm weather!! |
|
The new beds receive only seven hours or less of sun a day. |
|
For some who likes order through symetry, I didn't like this arrangement. I moved all the containers to the left and the baker's rack to the right. |
|
The rhubarb is coming along nicely even after being moved four years in a row. |
|
I want to double the number of containers of mint to four in my perennial herb bed. |
|
The grape vine is budding on the trellis. |
Postscript #1 - Germination from two out of the three lettuce sowings in window boxes (Salad Blend and Mesclun - sowed April 21, 7 days). Still waiting for Bronze Mignonette.
Postscript #2 - The sage plant grown last year in a container is showing signs of life as well as the thornless blackberry bush.
Postscript #3 - Keeping fingers crossed that the French Tarragon plant purchased last year made it through the winter. No signs of life yet.
