Good morning gardeners. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to accomplish outdoors today. The wind is awful. I did get a wee bit of cleaning done in the 16 foot bed this morning. I had to stop because dear Chloe alerted to something in the front yard and was determined to figure out how to get through the fence. Oh well. I have a batch of sourdough rye on it's first rise already. I've decided to make it into all rolls and no loaves. Rye flour is getting harder and harder to find now (and a little expensive). I bought 2 bags each of organic rye flour (3 pounds each). I keep them in the freezer until ready to use. I'm really hoping I can get outside for a bit and finish up on that garden bed today. I have some Black Kow to mix in the dirt in there along with a bag of chicken run compost I've been saving. I also would like to at least set the hoop frames on two of the beds in the big garden area. I did finally put some fertilizer on the starts I up potted earlier. Of course Chloe is now drawn to sniffing the leeks. LOL! Speaking of bird houses @WthrLady, I would really like to put up 2 or 3 bluebird houses. I noticed a mated pair last Spring and this year with all the trees gone there are more of them and they are loving the open spaces here. From what I learned, they like open fields as opposed to heavily wooded areas. I do have one bluebird house at the end of the row of birdhouses. I haven't seen any activity in there this year. It's been used by the sparrows and one year there was a wasp nest in it. That wasn't too bad unless I mowed to close for the wasps liking. Time to get busy now. Have a great day.
