July 5
Wow, talk about it being a while. Sorry about that! Not that anyone reads this and not that I care. LOL
Right now I'm between harvests, which is *such* a wonderful feeling. I can get some of the less important, but far more dramatic looking, projects finished. Or at least a good amount of progress on them.
I just went through strawberries, of which there aren't many, but were perfect for jam. Rhubarb is finished. Peas are pretty much a bust with all of the efforts of 2 very persistent (but dead) woodchucks. I had hoped to freeze at least a few pints of peas, but that just isn't going to happen. They can only be pruned back so many times before it hurts the harvest.
Blueberries will be 1-2 weeks before they're really in peak season, so I have 1-2 weeks before the next round of chaos begins.
So! - I've started splitting wood, weeding and dead heading the flowers, transplanting flowers and hauling dirt. This property isn't so much about getting it "just right". It's more about keeping it a little closer to "good enough". LOL
But again, this chaos is ok by me. I always have something to do. I always have jobs to choose from. Anything can be improved upon. And I can't be fired! Ha! It suits my ADD brain perfectly, and my environmental beliefs very well. I can practice what I wish to preach, and can give advice on how best to practice it. I'm making mistakes left and right, but hopefully so others don't have to.
I hope to have pictures up of a few projects soon. As soon as they can be recognized as something other than - ooo a pile of dirt. LOL
