OBSERVATIONS
Warmer, more growing things. Peas have settled in nicely under the apple espalier, scented early bulbs are still going strong. Apparently the tulips need to be fridged for a while, but how we're going to find space for that in the fridge in future IDEK.
Mugwort everywhere. Poison, or try to pull out? Some of the stuff is buried too deep to dig out, and some of it is caught up in the roots of other things.
CHOOKS
Goong is off the broody, not laying yet. Siyao is still laying strong, an egg every couple of days.
Need to move their tractor to AVO-SHED.
I found a pollinated avo! Now if only we can get dozens more!
PRUNING & PREPARING
I started tying down the apple boughs to the apple espalier fence.
PLANTING
A lot of Silver Gentleman CORN, in punnets for Crop Swap (eventually).
CORN (silver gentleman), CUCUMBER (lebanese), ZUCCHINI (golden), BEANS (bush, cherokee wax), EGGPLANT (black beuaty)
RIPENING
Nothing.
HARVEST
Four snowpeas, which I promptly ate. If I'd gotten the espalier fence up earlier, I'd have had more snowpeas. But they might grow a bit more in the coming months.
NOTES
I dug up quite a bit of sweet potato from the front garden bed, but most of it has rotted because I didn't do anything with it. *sigh* Simply didn't have the energy. Ditto with the sugarcane. It's probably dried out by now and not much good. Pity. Would have been interesting to try to make home sugar.
