Farmer Terry has the crops in for the growing season
Well, hopefully. The peas look terrible. Today I planted bush beans, Italian beans, 2 tomato plants, 2 pepper plants, carrots and 1 hill of cucumbers. I plan on planting a second hill of cucumbers in a couple of weeks, hopefully they won't all ripen at the same time.
I also took compost out of my compost bin....a lot of compost. I shovel it into a screen and then sift out the debris.
Needless to say, my back is a bit tender right now. I took two ibuprofins, but that does not seem to help.
I also moved the front porch furnture out to the porch.
But the most time was spent on looking for my bulb planters. I didn't find them, but ran across a hedge trimmer I have been missing for years and finally replaced, some window washing solvent, a fish trap, a very stylish one eyed copper frog, one very dead, very hard, very dried up toad. But no bulb planters.
I have finished my chairs and table but the table does not look right. John and Emily were over tonight and I asked their opinion, which confirmed mine that it needs another coat of oil. So tha is tomorrow's project. I better check the legs to be sure they look good.
As easy as that sounds, I had to go buy oil and another brush.
I have a lot of planting to do, but I can't until my rock and mulch are delivered. I thought it would all be here by now, but I guess I reckoned incorrectly.
Emily and John brought a couple of dogs to visit. Corki spent the entire time barking. She also spent a lot of time sizing up Cooper.....at one point Corki's eyes started at floor level and slowly went up until I thought she would fall over. Quite a contrast between a Great Dane and Corki.
Stay safe. Stay healthy
Peace and Love
