greenstormNapa cabbage, broccoli, lettuce, and ethiopian kale in the ground yesterday. One thing I'm doing in the garden is using movable frames, it ends up looking a bit like raised beds or cold frames but I remove them, till the garden, then put them in with frost cloth over. The frost cloth keeps the muscovies out while the seeds are sprouting or the plants are just getting started, the frames mark the edges of the beds well, and they're still movable to be tilled. The tomatoes don't get anything like this, but for the greens and stuff it seems to work well.
I need to plant a flat of woad, lettuce, and kohlrabi.
Tomatoes should be starting to go in today though we may have a frost in a couple days, and I have almost disassembled the pig house in the corner where I'm putting a berry patch in; then I'll till that and interplant the rows with corn and tomatoes while the berries are small. Berries: sea buckthorn, raspberry, maybe evans cherry, and either haskap or apple-grafted saskatoons.
Long line for kiddo pup Robs arrived today so he can hang out while I garden, hopefully. I'm still trying to figure out what gets him into unable-to-regulate space. Hungry does, things I can tell are overstimulation does, but sometimes he just goes straight there out of the box. I'm looking forward to the back fencing being finished so he can run back there where there are no ducks and cats. Until I figure out the overstimulation thing he can't be trusted around them, sometimes he's really good and sometimes really not.
I'm doing A LOT between walking all the dogs and the garden, and it ends up being a pretty strict routine: dog walks and feed cats 6am-7:15am, nap till just shy of noon, dog walks and lunch, nap, an hour or two of gardening, dog walks 4-5, rest, feed other animals and maybe a touch of gardening, dinner, toothbrushing, walk dogs, shower if I'm lucky, bed at 9-10. Dog walks take less than 20 min for Solly, Robs 15 - 40 minutes depending. I think Solly will be happier if I move her outdoors to a small yard/large crate. Counting the days till she can officially play with Robs.
