Less work = more posting. More work = less posting. Funny how that works. I prefer more frequently posting little bits of news, it’s easier to look back on and see a better timeline of what’s happened, but I can’t complain. I’m finally getting to do all the things I’ve been dreaming about! It’s sitting at a toasty 31c/88f so…
So in my post on the 15th I said some rubbish about waiting 2 weeks to see growth? How’s 3 days lolThe earliest any of the packets say to germination is the lettuce at 5-10 days, most are around 10-21. This is the lettuce, but some cabbage has also popped up.

The garden is doing super. Though I keep leaving the tomatoes out too long while hardening them off and they’re protesting with pale leaves and slowed growth, but still plugging along. I’ll probably transplant them the first sunny warm day we have next week. After that awful hot weather we had last weekend, it’s been in the low 50s and…
The heat finally left us and we were greeting to wonderfully rainy, 55 degree weather this morning. I was thrilled. So with the rain, I didn’t bother watering today and instead of checking on the garden every few hours (I’m a little obsessive), it was a good 24 hours since I last checked it. All the taters grew, visibly –…
Sorry for the lack of bloggage – I finally was able to get busy with work and have been working and grocery shopping and other inside household stuff today. We had company yesterday …been hectic. I have to finish my watering system tomorrow. The plants aren’t getting enough when I just water by hand. I need to replace one of…
