We continue to move forward with making our new room more useful. We got a better timer with a grounded circuit. Both lights are now on the same timer.
I was pleased to see that all three clematises survived the winter and are putting out new growth.
I re-infected the garden with borage, although I've also seen some volunteer sprouts. I planted the "Moonlight" climbing nasturtiums under the forsythia in the glen, and I planted the multicolored version "Amazon Jewel" around the pea poles.
By 3-5, the apricot branch was showing some first leaves, and the bloom was almost over.
And by 3-12, we're seeing baby fruit. Lots and lots of baby fruit! We've already started thinning, which we can actually accomplish because the branches are low enough.
This branch on the plum side is especially vigorous.
And the peach was in full bloom by 3-5.
We got the last of the peas in on row 3b. These are climbing garden peas. There are also nasturtiums planted around these pea poles.
The rose is leafing out well.
Last weekend we had a couple of big work days at 9th. Rick took Friday off, and Batch came over to help.
Batch paints over the carport front so we don't have any more stupid sloppy giant house numbers there.
Then they primered the whole west wall.
Meanwhile, I got more chips laid.
The last rainfall had softened the ground enough that it was a lot easier to hoe. So yeah, I was a hoe-er.
Since this picture was taken, I've filled in the spot by the pavers and progressed further around the back.
Batch brought way more ladders! His ladders were a huge help.
Driving back from 9th, we noticed this amazing daffodil verge on Mill Street.
I pulled all my starts out for watering on 3-10. I planted basil, chives, dill, lavender, and cypress vine in flat E. Then on 3-12, I planted two more sixpacks of cherry tomatoes, because I'm sure to want to give some of them away. I *might* be finished planting. Oh who am I kidding... I haven't yet begun!
By 3-12 the lilac was just about to bloom, with one or two flowers open so we get the first hint of that lovely scent.
It's been warm and dry, perfect weather for farming.
Then we got the piece de resistance! A kegerator for the farm! Yay! We still have to set it up and get it filled, but we have it, and we have a plan for it, so we don't end up with problems. On the wall behind the keg is part of my plant lists.
We had a lunch for my birthday and later we hung out at the farm. Not pictured, but participating, were Delina and Laura.
Jane brought me a fun little game. You roll the dice, and make a story from the pictures on the surface. Even Rick C. got in the action.
