stubbed toes and mud pies

[Marie2020]

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 pods buried that i was hoping to put in that garden. they'll go in the next one or the one after...

It was supposed to thunder here last night. We had rain and it's been humid, a bit like a hot bathroom but no thunder. Thankfully there's breeze now.

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 is still rather too firm to just dibble seeds in. i tried that in various gardens in the past and the bean plants grew very slow and struggled when it got too hot.

so tomorrow should be the end of bean seed planting inside the fence and i can move on to tasks outside the fence (weeding and planting one big garden along a pathway and then getting the north garden weeded and maybe planted too with beans. the deer have been coming through at times so i think that might be a lost cause but never know how it goes until i try. and then the bunnies are running around too...
