Up a little after five this morning, kilted, booted, and out the front door. You can guess what I did. I succumbed to the urge to enlarge the Lorelei just a little bit more. I added, oh, probably another 18-24 inches to the base of the L. I plan to plant two varieties of bush beans separated by a cucmber trellis oriented north and south to allow full sun on as many plants as possible. The amount I increased it on Saturday wasn’t quite enough for all that.
Then off to Jones, yes Jones, where this early-bird got serenaded by a harmonious early-bird (the real kind) choir. I weeded and added leaf mold to the as-yet unplanted part of the bed, making it easier for my wife and me to take a stroll to Jones this evening and quickly plant a few tomato and eggplant plants, smoothly slipping them into the billowy, light soil, the result of my morning handiwork.
Crack of dawn gardening energizes me just like the writing I usually do during that time. Sorry I can’t write and garden a couple hours each in that same time-frame. I gotta sleep sometime!
