W.U.F. 04-19-2009



It looks like today is going to be a beautiful day to work in the garden.  After 36 hours of rain, snow, and wind it will be great to be outside.  The birds have been singing loudly this morning driving the cats nuts.  They went out the door at 5:00 this morning.  What was supposed to be a huge blizzard turned out to be a weird mix of rain, snow, wind, and thunder.  On Friday at work I was pushing water out of the shop blizzard conditions with thunder.  It was quite surreal.


Carol a friend of ours is coming over to work in the garden with us this afternoon.  I have to weed the radishes and stack the bricks from our hidden brick path.  We have some new beds to plant.  We will be getting ready to transplant tomatoes and cabbage before too long.  We also have some pepper plants to transplant as well.  If I have time I am going to clean the rhubarb bed.  We have lived here four and a half years and we have never harvested the rhubarb.  That changes this year.  Next year we may have to separate it.

Thursday before the storm got here, Sy harvested and dried chives.  That is the second chive harvest this year.  Got to get those potatoes growing soon.
