greenstormMontana morado corn in the ground yesterday, mostly showing the hint of root tips. I've grown it once before and it ripened well, though wanted a bit more water than it got at the far end of the top field.
Pigs also got out; electric installed in that corner.
Bruises on my torso starting to show where Robs pulled his "running really fast to pull the leash out" trick. It's been awhile since I had rope bruises, and they were definitely more fun to get before. He's doing that trick much less, which is good because I have to keep the lead wrapped once around my torso to catch it since my hand strength kinda sucks.
Morden mixed corn and sweet corn grex should go in the ground today. Part of the issue is I can't think about where they should go or decide where they should go, because that requires all the brain stuff: knowing what order they'll pollinate in, which parts of the yard are too distant to pollinate between, microclimates for different parts of the yard which will influence both pollination and ripening time, and size of different fields. Integrating that information so I could plant everything so it wouldn't cross pollinate, due either to timing or location, and would all ripen depending on the ripening needs of each type, used to be easy for me. Now it's impossible. I'll do something and it'll work or not anyhow.
I'm beginning to see what fully died in the frost and what didn't. The runner beans did surprisingly well. More on that later.
Journaling 1000000% improves my mental health. Too much writing 100000000000% destroys it. Please be impressed by my discipline in not trying to spreadsheet my way through the corn think but just doing something, which helps it not harm me.
Solly has her x-ray appointment in 3 weeks and 2 days to get her ok to run free off-leash. She's getting increasingly unhappy with the current situation, though her innate good temper shows through always.
I think a skunk (skunk family?) is living under the back chicken house, and I think it's had some run-ins with the foxes.
