The sun is shining on Humboldt Bay and I have almost recovered for my Post-Op SNAFU so I went for a short walk and then spent a couple of hours in the garden watching the spring birds feeding. The temp is 55 so I took some readings of soil temps with my compost thermometer and found it anywhere from 41 to 45 degrees.

My garlic is looking great and the very late planting of the Vietnam variety is up about 2 inches. My wife picked up some planting mix but the Black Gold was not in yet. She got 4 bags of local producer and 2 bags of Super Soil from the SF bay area. Super Soil used to be favorite and then they disappeared for a couple of years so we found Black Gold and were very pleased with it.

Sorry to hear you had surgery, glad to hear you’re recovering. Take it easy! You think you can do go right back to doing stuff, and then reality smacks you upside the head!

70 here yest and today, hellacious tstorm about to come through.

Picked some lettuces today—romaine, buttercrunch, red sails, iceburg, and baby spinach—cooked some chicken, added some cheese and bacon bits, tomatoes and cukes, covered it with ranch. Not too shabby! The lettuces were all started in the greenhouse, so I got a jump. We’ve been selling lots. Hope this storm tonite doesn’t do too much damage.

FIL plowed my garden today! YIPPEE! If we don’t get too much rain, I may try to plant some this weekend.
