Thanks for the book recommendations.....I will check those out.
It is raining though today to get an early start in the garden....maybe this afternoon.
Update to my garden project.
Seed starts/direct seeding.
Turns out the 11 y.o. Johnny’s soybean seeds did not germinate at all. The sprouts were unknown volunteer tomato starts from my cold/worm compost pile.
So will need to source some soybean seeds/starts.
Carrots have not popped after direct seeding.
Radishes have popped in raised beds.
I have the 250ft of chicken wire fencing up around the garden area. Need to finish burying it, landscape staples and concrete papers will be added after burying to keep the rabbits out. (Any other suggestions for rabbit deterrence welcomed.)
Another week in the greenhouse is the rainy week sentence for the tomato pepper and other starts.
Hallelujah I found a source for free woodchips! I need about 15 yards for mulch but I don’t want a dump truck backing across my nice concrete driveway so it has to be brought in with my pickup one load at a time. This is a 45 min drive each way but the guy has a bulldozer to load for me!
Score on the wood chips! A chipper is on my ‘Wish List’ for one of these days. With the amount of wood we have around here, I HATE paying for wood chips...and I need a lot of them each season.
I’m slowly wearing Beau down, LOL!
