Seedy Saturday/Internetness
Mar. 1st, 2009 08:50 amYesterday was seedy saturday at VanDusen. As per the event, I spent more money on seeds and plants than I had, but less than I would have liked to. I really need to save up for this a month or three in advance next time. I keep telling myself that, then something comes up--- spring mysteries, a snowstorm, a rat show.
I've got seeds for ten varieties of tomatoes, pawpaw seeds, black elderberry cuttings, an american chestnut tree, a hops vine, some peas, some golden purslane seeds, a new variety of ground cherry (called Cossack Pineapple!) and that's about it. Everything else I already have from last year-- and in the ground they will go soon. Yay!
I should see if I can track down a grant for starting a small business and get myself a light table. The tomato plants already have buyers (fingers crossed as to their quality).
Internet continues to feel like a waste of time and be kind of annoying to get to, but I have updated my rat website, so that's good. Babies, in two or three weeks, we're hoping.
Mood swings held in check by biking lots and eating right. When I fall off the wagon, it all goes to hell-- until I next need to bike commute somewhere. Angus is patient with me thus far, which is good.
It's been the driest winter ever. This is totally ridiculous. This summer the lower mainland is going to be a desert unless we get a lot of water coming down over those mountains in the next two months or so. I'vw worn my raingear twice in the last two months-- in winter. I work nearly every day. Go figure.
There are pigeons nesting on my deck. I don't know what to do about that one-- except hope theyll be fledged by the time I need the space for tomatoes.
