Well there are lots of good days. Yesterday kinda busy with film scout here - may turn into something for town who knows.

Planted squash.

Today cleared 1 1/2 more beds - couldn't finish as my hands gave up. W spent morning cleaning up after the man of Wayneb's kicked over the dead trees for us w his bulldozer. Lots of chain saw noise as I gardened. Afternoon, more clearing and w worked on his smokehouse clearing project - ugh, the mice, dust and stink!

In between he helped me with hosing down the front porch of its pollen, we also scrubbed the walls and furniture.

Door, grass

Woody hung the new storm door - he'd been dreading it because doors are never easy, and nothing is square in an old house. And he was right - it took hours, but it's done, except the supplied bottom sweep is too short. We'll pick up another one soon.

I cut grass - all except the daffodils. Wow it had grown. Some was saved to use in the garden.

Note that when asparagus comes up, so does bamboo and Ginger lily stalks. Worked a little on the remnants of Bubber's iris beds. What a mess. Think I will combine into one at some point.

When cutting the grass I cut around the pasture - saw that we need to move the moo moos today.

Glenna coming today to buy 4 chicks. My baby Easter eggers may arrive today in the mail! Thinking re trading chicks for Glenna's strawberries.... More coffee please...

Today we planted Austrian Winter peas - very late but it was going to rain later and we thought we should at least try it since we bought the seed. Spred it where the cows wintered, hoping to help the bare spots and encourage the soil fertility.

After lunch we went out and cleared a bed, dug under a bed, added a container of Wendy's compost to an already cleared bed and planted early beets - supposed to be 52 days from today, so that would be end of May? Potatoes are coming up, as are peas - think the carrots may just be a dud.

moved the cows yesterday - they were only in that paddock about 5 days but the difference in the grass level between it and the next paddock made us open it up. Don't want to injure our baby grass by overgrazing this time of year.
