I am going to jump the gun and before I go out on some jobs today I am going to put the deep cycle battery out in the gh and this means redirecting the panel wiring. I diverted it to the basement to trickle charge the battery for my husband's muscle care but now, I want that power back!
More ladder work - I really hate ladder work...

This morning I started digging in the garden. I only had a shovel and I'm not very strong, but I managed to dig a trench about 4ft x 1.5ft x8 inches deep. I found lots of worms, which made me happy, and grubs, which didn't

My super-cool landlord told me he was gonna give me some of his organic soil (he sells trees, mulch, wood, and organic soil), but I didn't have it yet, so I mixed the soil from the trench with horticultural molasses (granules), Epsom salts, and lots of organic compost and, even though there wasn't enough for filling up the whole thing, I managed to plant my first tomato plant!

It's not one of the plants that I'm growing from my seeds, it's a plant I saw at the grocery store on my birthday and I had to have it because it was way bigger than mine were. It's an heirloom pineapple tomato. I've never had it before, we'll see if I like it. Tomorrow I'll try to plant my black Krims, which I grew from seed.View attachment 4802

That soil looks like it will be so kind to roots. I think I heard your tomato whining that is is lonely...

It is, Lori, but soon it won't

This weekend I am going to finally go and get some seeds so I can work on my potted garden...Yay, got some extra money right about now! I plan to get a few flower seeds, but I am not sure what kind until I get there and see what they have to offer. I will also be getting some onion, carrot, lettuce, and some sort of berry seeds!
