I've been trying to time the sun where I have framed and dug my garden and I'm afraid it might only get 5 hours of full sun!!! I'll check me closely tomorrow but it is just too late and too much work to start over. I'm a little proud of the whole Did It All By Myself thing but if anyone checked it with a T-square and level it wouldn't rate very high!! BUT getting everything (or anything!) exact using reclaimed wood of all shapes and sizes would have been a hellofa job!! I could have redone things until I got it exact but, well, I'm not! Actually, I DON'T think I could. I intended to make the bed at least 8 inches high before I started planting but it can't wait any longer. Hopefully I can add to it after it's planted?? I have 56 square feet framed with about a 4 × 3 space at the north end for corn with beans and peas climbing it. I don't know what to do with the asparagus yet, the space for corn might be the best place? Or I can start it in a crate and dig a separate garden for it after I plant the 56 sq feet???? We can't harvest the asparagus for at least 2 years. The strawberries, whatever survives, won't really produce for at least a year either.
Dave is mowing, dandelion seeds flying everywhere, I wish we had done it before they all went to seed!!! Oh well. At least they are nutritious, Jenise, you will never die of starvation here if the grid goes down etc!!
It's dark. I worked in the SE corner of the yard until I couldn't see what I was doing and then I came on the deck and potted my beautiful Mother's Day flowers Kira gave me. ๐๐๐๐ฅฐ๐❤️❤️ Maybe she doesn't Hate me completely??? I am hopeful. Maybe too hopefull but it feels good for now.
Now maybe a shower. Besides sweating in the garden all day I stupidly walked by Dave mowing on the wrong side and am covered in dandelion seeds and grass clippings and whatever else the lawnmower was throwing at me. I think I felt a few rocks ๐ค.
