greenstormThank goodness for rototillers. Digging the garden is going much faster than I thought it would.
It's amazing how, even when things hard-freeze and nothing breaks down over the winter, cardboard is completely gone the next spring under a lasagna bed. The rototiller was pulling up strips of tape, but there wasn't even a ghost of the cardboard.
Things are moving fast. The season is rocketing along. Piglets are all healthy and happy looking; some are so healed already from the castration yesterday that I have trouble finding the wounds. That is some fast healing.
I planted the gaspe flint corn indoors today. I think the cascade ruby-gold is going straight outside, I have a lot of that.
It's been super warm here. Aside from tilling the garden I've been messing with waterlines. I need to get going on my deck - haskaps, eggplants maybe, tomatoes. I'm a bit stymied by what to do for soil though; manufactured mix is sold out till next week and I still have the winters on my car so I don't want to go get a trailerful. I could have some delivered but that is definitely cost, and definitely I'd then have to wheelbarrow it where I wanted it.
I'll sort that out later, I guess.
Back to work tomorrow. These 3-day weekends are nice, but also they're long enough for my head to get completely out of work. It feels like quite a transition to return.
