A week of June is already gone, yet the plants finally went outside yesterday. It was cold last night – forty two for the low, so we shall see how they do out in the real world, but plants must adapt and the sooner I make them, the more likely they will succeed overall. Much rain late yesterday, so I’m sure they have a few days of root shock ahead of us. But, at 6.30 in the morning, they are basking in sunlight, versus waiting until late in the afternoon when stuck in the house.
Finding workers out here is difficult. If anyone knows of anyone wanting some work, to dig me a hole so I can install a green house, please do let me know. I contacted my guy in March, was promised a May work time frame, and cannot currently get the man to return a phone call. My neighbor Jack, with culverts laying in ditches of Schierl Road, was expecting him as well.
Tonight I begin the firewood collection cycle again. Neighbors are graciously offering me free wood, so step one is gathering the low hanging fruit, getting everything home, and building a larger stash than last year.
