Better Hurry! Spring is Coming!


I tidied up this corner on Thursday. 

Had to replace a light fixture because I couldn’t get it to turn on, no buzzing or anything. I made 400 two inch soil blocks and planted calendula, columbine, chamomile, yarrow, pansies, sweet alyssum 

Then I made 240 3/4” soil blocks and planted 12 kinds of tomatoes. 


And look! In 3 days the sweet alyssum is sprouting. 

I worked on some irrigation which as you can see is leaking. 


I harvested more rocks. 

Pregnant Posie gave me a scare with what was probably some false labor. Tomorrow we’ll see if I fixed the leaky irrigation and make a better cover for the maternity pen since we’re  expecting rain next week. 


I just had a few eggs for market because the greens are infested with aphids and flea beetles. So I sprayed them with spinosad an organic product marketed as Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew. Hopefully getting on it early will knock them out quick.

I appreciate the nice weather we’ve been having although it means more bugs. I’m looking forward to the rain coming next week because we really need it
