all parts weeded, leveled and ready for planting. i do a little light cultivating of the rows before planting so that i can get the seeds down far enough that they won't pop back out when watering. while this is still a pretty good garden with the soil quality better than most of the others it...

and a one, and a two...

all natural vitamin D. :)

it hasn't really rained enough to keep the grass in full gear, but that is ok with me as then i can squeeze in a few more days between mowing. the temperatures are on the increase now but overnight we're still getting into the low 50sF. daytime temperatures in the mid-70sF and then heading up...

finished planting the network beans in a 2nd garden so there is diversity in locations. a few seeds kept back for each of them just in case... tomorrow on to the next bean garden. not sure yet what i'm putting there. :) it may take me several hours to get it all weeded - it's a pretty big...

another garden planted today and hope for another tomorrow. :) it's coming along... ready to fall asleep. ZZzzz....

they are geared to do their rounds at times relative to sunrise and sunset. we have some that come around each day too. i keep my windows closed (too much noise and allergic reactions to pollens so in the end it saves me a lot aggravation to leave them closed). we also have some mourning...

i did get a large garden weeded and planted and also weeded some thistles out of another garden (which will be the next in line to be planted). was a bit warmer than i expected today and a nice breeze that certainly helped keep me cooler, but it was blowing enough that i didn't get the bean...

amazing, someone did what they said they would do. :) the field to the south of us got mowed today and so we won't have this round of flowering thistles to worry about. he said he would mow it again when it gets about to flower a 2nd time. it's getting green and looking nicer every day...

paraquat is a herbicide that authorities in other countries (Mexico and Columbia being the major ones at that time) that were growing pot would spray to kill it, but sometimes the growers would still be able to harvest it and sell it if they could catch it in time. very nasty stuff.
