High: 71.2
Low: 37.4
Partly Cloudy

  • Went to the herb festival. Had a nice convo with Nathan from Wildbud Natives. I showed him a picture of the orchard area and he said that he could make me a deal on a larger number of plants if I wanted to do something like a meadow. I might hire him for a consultation. He said he uses a drill with an augur bit when he does planting. That would save a lot of time and energy. Something I could get from the tool library. He sells plants by the tray at a discount. I didn't buy anything.
  • Mowed the east lawn and weed-whacked some of the harder spots.
  • Moved all of the figs into the greenhouse, reorganized them, and watered all of them. I plan on keeping a close eye on them and watering them daily. I also moved the tomato and pepper starts in there. Consolidation. I'm happy to get some wind protection on them!
  • Pulled some weeds. The Bermuda grass is making its way. I had an idea to plant something in the places where I pull up Bermuda grass, buttercup, or other "weeds", although I am not sure what that something would be.




The shade cloth has been great at keeping things < 105!

Sochan didn't like the cold. It's root-bound in dry, cruddy soil. Not feeling to optimistic about this guy.

Malabar spinach looking strong. They were selling these at the fest.

It got down to 37 degrees last night and the figs remained outside. They're ok!

Love seeing some of last year's perennials coming back
