SOOooo happy to have gotten the hitch on the garden tractor fixed! So much easier to use the garden trailer to haul water to the garden, then to take it in the car, then lug the jugs to where they’re needed. I use 2 5-gallon jugs, and 4-6 1-gallon bottles to fill the watering can.
After next week’s weather dump, I should be able to start using the irritation tank & pump, and water with the hoses.
Checked the nest box, and counted 6 babies; they seem to be good sized,and are active.
The ducks are getting huge, but still have over a week to go before they have a date with the freezer. Have to find where I put away for safekeeping the big crab boiler pot I use for scalding when I pluck birds.
Getting a few second, reserve, flowers opening on the apricots, so we still may get a few this year. Wild plums and the earliest apples are blooming, as are daffies and tulips.
Come on, those who haven’t, and contribute to keep this board and the Gardening Thread going. If I can make a small monthly, anyone can. Any contribution is better than none.
ADDENDUM:
As predicted, got our first asparagus yesterday; 24 spears for our dinner. Will cut more tomorrow.
I imagine so - hard work hauling water. It’s heavy.
