Spring, Springing
The trees are still mostly bare, but the lawn and flowers and bushes are going crazy here. The trees have lots of little nubbins that seem to teeter on the brink of exploding into leaves, so I suspect it isn't going to be long. It's so not what I am used to.
I got my next garden bed up and going yesterday. Lettuce and red cabbage. I don't know how I am going to manage the bamboo. I dig up as much as I can, but still there is already a shoot poking through in my peas. I guess the best I can do is to put some roundup on it with a paint brush and hope for the best. I did a really thorough job with that garden bed, this garden is going to take forever if I keep on going at this rate. I was going to put carrots in in a third bed yesterday afternoon, but I discovered a huge rock slab right under that garden bed, so this morning my aim is to dig the next garden bed instead for the carrots and hope I dig off of the edge of this bit of rock (it's over two feet across so far, and about eight inches deep). If I don't, I guess building up the garden bed will do.
Monday I had an enormously productive day on my webpage. I now have two of the smaller pages left to do. I was bent on getting them done yesterday, but I didn't get anything done, really. I don't know how that happens. I really hate writing this webpage text stuff. I am going to try to be disciplined about it today and get it up this evening.
First, though, I am off to check that nothing ate my seedlings last night and then off to get some chicken wire so that nothing can eat them. Then off to the grocery store - we have a birthday party for three to run tonight. :D
Since I haven't posted pictures in a while, here are some for you. The first is a mouse we caught in a have-a-heart trap yesterday. I took him down across the river and released him.
The second is a leaf on the bottom of the stream, with reflections of sky and the dark bands of trees allowing me to see through to the bottom of the water:
