ursulas_alcoveI have only been up for three hours. The first was poking at the internet. I put away dishes. The morels are washed and in the food dehydrator without heat. Plants lights are on. A couple of plants made it upstairs to harden off on the front porch. At this point, I'm working on sweet potatoes. The dehumidifier has been emptied. The toilet has been scrubbed. These are small victories. I actually got a bowl of cereal down without too much heartburn. Heartburn has been a constant companion since last year's Gulf Wars. Anytime I eat sugar or acidic foods, heartburn. I know I need more B6 in my diet. I'm waiting for the purslane to grow and nibble at it. I need something in that too.
It's been rainy and humid. I wanted to get another bed planted but am unsure if the weather will let me. I did get two of these planters planted for the front porch. see picture below. I consolidated the empty pots to be washed. I think I planted around 250 plants. There is a lot of washing to do. Since the planting is staggered, I reuse pots. At least there are not 250 to wash.
I worked exclusively on one bed yesterday. It's been weeded and mulched. While beans and alliums are not friends in the garden, I still planted beans among the leeks. I still have another round of carrots to plant and tomatoes to transplant and stake. Definitely won't happen today. I am tired. Chrono made it to Chicago but the rerouting on I-294 takes an hour longer. The I-90 lanes going out of downtown north are closed. City streets net you a better ride. It was very late when she arrived. Yeah, I waited up.
The cream has been pulled to make butter. Maybe I'll nap and get to it later. I decided to plant the terrace bed with the horrible soil by pulling some out and adding some perlite and coconut coir rather than trying to dig all of it out. I am hydrating the coir and the mulch for that bed right now. Between raindrops?
