May. 20th, 2020 08:22 amI'm so tired lately. Still. We've had some grey and rainy days - well, grey and drizzly on-and-off - which is great for the garden. They tend to be days I want to sleep in, maybe from so many years in landscaping where we often got rainy days off.
I don't ordinarily want to sleep in, though, and this has been many days in a row. I'm not completely sure what's up. I've been taking my b-vitamins less often, maybe that's it.
Yesterday I got another kg or 2 of egg pasta dough in the freezer. Tonight is the last cold night in the forecast: most of the squash and definitely the tomatoes will be evicted tomorrow, into the garden. I should really get the turnips and the last beets in the ground too.
The fluid-sown carrots have cole family leaves coming up in the rows, so either radishes or arugula. That means something has worked! I'm very much looking forward to seeing the carrots come up though.
Demon keeps going out for ~36 hours at a time, coming back for a few days, and going out again. I definitely need to get him neutered but it's going to be rough finding a vet during covid times. My closest vet has heart issues so he's really keeping himself apart at this point.
This marks the first time I pulled two minibags of feed in my new trailer. Cons of the new trailer: I can't self-load, so I need to schedule with the grain guy, and even then it's fiddly. I also can't pull it into the back unless/until I build more of a ramp because it'll pinch through the swale. Pros of the new trailer: can carry two bags of grain, even in the rain, without wrecking it. I also don't need to speed unload at the other end. I really *should* trade the 4runner for a pickup truck at this point, which would solve a bunch of the other problems. I like the 4runner a lot, though, especially in winter or with smaller animals or camping.
Next up: soil for the deck garden.
If only I had a little more energy.
