I think about the same. Today I have to go out to several job sites though. Two are huge crop fields so at least I'll see some veggies/ fruit growing. Hopefully it's not windy, I hate getting sand blasted.Morning all. Beautiful out there. Thought about calling in sick to go stare at the stuff coming up in the garden, but I think about that every day.
I read about people working in the garden in the pouring rain. It should motivate and inspire me but it doesn't. I prefer to stare out the window with a cup of coffee in hand. Especially when a storm is blowing in and the wind is cold and cutting. We don't really get warm storms here. Maybe once a year in late summer.Rain coming in about 5 hours, and storms, possibly severe, coming about 3 hours after that. This should motivate me to get going.
It's not working, so far. I'll try more coffee.
Yesterday I watered the clover. Picked a big handful of snap peas. I grew a packet of the wrong kind.... I only had a few of the meaty pod ones left from last year. So at least I have a few of those, but I apparently planted the flat pod type this year. Oops. They're still delicious but not what I wanted. I was even really careful picking the packets out. I usually order seed but didn't have enough time for the peas and got them from Home Desperate.
I rarely buy plants or seeds from Home Cheapo.... But this year they had well priced tomato plants from burpee. $3 each and 4 packs of peppers for $4. Small plants compared to some that were from Bonnie's but it was early enough in the season that it was a no brainer to get the cheaper smaller plants. However our local garden shop always beats them, but it's hard to get there before they sell out. I managed a few tomatoes from them and peppers. Huge plants for $3.95. always a great deal IMO. So I can always add fun variety to try from their supply.
Oh yeah! And most of my garden is doing well. My seedlings were angry with the lack of light but they'll be alright.
