Whooo, I'm tired, so if this gets rambly, I apologize. I want to get this into the log before I fall asleep.
I got a lot done today. I can almost call my plot half ready.
I bought a coil hose and itended to set it up, but I realized the way the drain is set up, the hose wouldn't fit because the nozzle is supposed to be male and the way I set it up, it wasn't the male collection I need for a garden hose.Another trip to Home Depot today got me the part to fix things.
I spent some time cleaning up - getting all of the stakes, misc into the permanent storage that I bought. I walked around the garden planning a bit. I have boards laid out so I can walk through the garden without sinking 12 inches. I moved them around a bit.
I transferred the garlic chive and rhubarb I pulled out of the garden a few weeks ago. They're all tucked in.
I planted and/or set spinach (from the starts in my apartment), carrots, lettuce, red onions, chamomile, brussel sprouts, chives and some peas.
I'm ALMOST 50% planted in. The starts in my apartment are doing well. When I turned the spinach out of it's party cup, the roots were almost 10 inches long in many cases. The chives I transplanted had their thick, twining roots going in circles in the bottom of the cup.
The transferred spinach seedlings are covered with clearish plastic which I hope will keep them warm enough for them to grow alone outside.
Not a bad day, but now I must sleep.
