quick garden update
Because the garden is the only thing I do now, apparently.
Chickenwire cage over corn seems to be keeping critters out. Will see.
Bird netting over strawberries: ditto. All the berries are green right now.
More concerning is the lack of bees. I don't know if something happened this year, or if it's just because it's been weird weather, a cold Spring. I have chive flowers and roses in full bloom, and no bees. I'll keep looking. Maybe I was just checking when they weren't active. I saw some in April when it was warm and sunny, so I really do think/hope it's just the weather. Wednesday is supposed to be warm and sunny again (first time in a month!) so I'll look for them then.
The pea plants are starting to show signs of maybe they are done putting on length and are ready to offer some flowers.
I prepped the last two Earthboxes, and perhaps this coming weekend I will start putting seedlings in. Though first I need to map out what goes where, because I have a lot more plants than space. My problem, of course, is that I want to do comparisons between seeds I harvested myself and seeds from a commercial supplier. That means doubling up on some varieties.
Oh, good news: the myoga came up! Not all of them, but one in particular and now there's another small one popping up. So I have hope! They might just have been waiting for the weather to sort itself out.
