Brad, I hope your area gets some rain soon! Awesome that Jacob and his band are on the radio!
Good afternoon, MMC!
Two days in a row a May 2015 record for me. cheesy
The storm just nicked us last night ~ looked extremely bad on radar, but all we ended up getting was a lot of wind (a few fallen trees) and a slight downpour. Thank you for all the well wishes!
The beans I planted last week went from nothing showing to over 2 inches in height overnight. That is incredible! This year's garden is in two spots. One 32 foot row planted both sides of the fence that is in the middle. My modification of the Square Foot Gardening system. There are beans on one side, San Marzano tomatoes, poblano chili and Anaheim chili peppers the other. I still have 16 feet to plant, but haven't decided what is going in as of yet. In the other garden I planted zucchini and in a tub I have kale and leeks. So far everything is looking good. Doesn't look like there will be a lot of fruit this year, but the past couple of years' winters have been so hard it isn't all that surprising. Anyhow, with this garden system there should be a lot less weeding to do so I can tackle the overgrown borders and other areas that have been neglected far too long. I am finally feeling a lot better than I have in a few years so I have quite a few plans for outside projects.
Palmer is doing well. She has inspired my brother to write a book about her; he has written two chapters already and I have had the privilege of reading the rough drafts. It was hilarious, but then so is Palmer. :wiggy: The other cats are doing well although a few of them have wandered off over the past 6 months. There might be a litter of kittens in the woods ~ haven't found them yet, but the signs are there.
A few visitors to the "farm" of late: a female turkey that walks up the driveway and around the backyard, gobbling all the time; Rocky, the cat food-stealing raccoon that has move in during the past few weeks; a pair of Blue Jays have nested right outside the bathroom window so I cannot open it up for fear of scaring them; a huge tuxedo cat that stalks Bottle, the former stray that now lounges around on the patio furniture. And of course, Alvin, the pine cone-hating chipmunk who likes to sit in the walnut tree and chatter nonstop for what seems like hours. Got to love the country!
Be safe and MERRY, MMC!!!
