Margali 2020 Garden

[margali]

I have a bunch of volunteer watermelon or cucumber seedlings in my raised bed that I need to add more dirt too.

I'm glad the leaves are so different so I can save the cucumbers and junk the watermelons (taste failure last year). I'm going to scoop the cucumbers up into Solo cups or something to save them.

Got the mulberry trees replanted. Also, see what they are sitting on? Clean, uncluttered floor. Took forever but the breakfast nook between kitchen and backdoor is presentable again.


Now to decide if I'm okay with having rabbit cages that close to food prep. This is only tiled space available. I have in writing that the stupid ordinance limiting rabbits only applies to outside rabbits. The local 4H leader said she's never had an issue with outside rabbits but...

I would put rabbits outside anyway. Maybe put us a section or two of board privacy fence to shield them from prying eyes. They are quiet and don't make noise. I say go for it. I cannot fathom keeping them in the house.

3 weeks of soo much togetherness. Thankfully the garden center is still open. Hanging on to my sanity a shovelful at a time.

The wildflower bed is in. Sprouted carrot seeds in main garden bed with one volunteer cucumber. My blueberry bushes have micro size berries.

I’m glad we have our small farm. Having to stay home is not bad. We like our life and we love our farm.

Spent whole day outside playing in dirt, so all in all, great day.

I spent the day working inside. The kids were told to stay outside most of the day. They got to come in for a couple of hours at lunch. Otherwise it was play on the covered porch or playground under 10'x10' popup. Hubby supplied sunscreen and snacks.

Got the fitting I needed in the mail and sent up my soaker house. I planted the Eda Pepper seeds I germinated inside 3/21. The apples and blueberries are progressing.

Trying to focus on good things not bad right now. It's hard cause I'm still fighting ear infection, husband's back is bothering him, and my grandparents are severely ill. Told boss I'm a wreck right now. So that also adds to anxiety cause I'm not getting any work done. Don't know what my paycheck on 15th is gonna look like.
