It's a new month and time for a new gardening journal. What is everyone up to now?
My weekend was labor intensive but pretty simple for all that. Spent most of it raking, hauling and spreading mulch. Got the two row extensions for the blueberries mulched in, about twenty feet or so for the three plants. Twenty feet of row for the new blackberries. And about eighteen or twenty feet for the camellias - new mulch for the new ones and deepening the existing mulch for the two established ones. Still need to get the driveway flowerbed mulched in and finish mulching in the middle of the camellia row.
The citrus, blueberries, established camellias, and figs are showing excellent growth.
Got the new wheels on the small hen house and moved them out of my shop bay. Have already decided I've mounted them too far back but moving them further forward will have to wait. The idea of a rolling hen house delighted my daughter and she said, "the chickens are going for a ride!" as I was rolling it out.
Other than that it was pretty quiet. The rain chased me off several times Saturday and Sunday so while it was actually coming down I began the major chore of cleaning up and reorganizing the shop again. The place gathers clutter the way the undersides of beds gathers dust bunnies. I've found FOUR tape measures!
Next weekend looks like I'll be processing pears. Lots and lots of pears.
.....Alan.
