almost done with turning the ex-strawberry patch so i should be able to get it ready to plant later today and plant it tomorrow morning. digging holes and burying things is a lot faster than weeding and i like that i'm not wasting valuable organic materials and also the energy from the sun that those plants collected. i'm also getting this done before most of the plants have gone to seed so that helps a lot for the future efforts in this garden. it's still going to be a long road to get this garden better for growing vegetables but it will be a lot easier to take care of now than it was as a strawberry patch.

with the forecast for evening rains i decided to get back out there and not only get ready for planting but to actually get some bean seeds in that garden. i didn't finish planting the whole thing and don't particularly like the layout i ended up with but it will have to do. what is left is the last few rows near the end where the killdeer nest is at. won't take too long because i did sort of level it this evening so i just need to beat some rows with the cultivator so i can scrape a drill and plant.
and then it actually did rain! this is the first significant rain in the last week or so and am so glad to have it.
the downside was that i failed to bring out some paper and a pencil to write down exactly what i planted and where. i know the first rows and wrote down what i can remember, but "mix" is going to be a frequent term of art for this piece of paper.
i hope i can finish up the rest of the planting of that garden Monday and be able to move on to other gardens that need some attention.
also today we had a friend who was looking for some extra $ come over and do some work that Mom wanted done (removing some old lavender plants which we both react). there's a bunch more to do as we have a lot of lavender around here. round two will theoretically be this Thursday.
