Growing things to eat them.
Everything in the garden is progressing reasonably well! So far I've only lost the cucumbers, which is fine, considering that I didn't really have space for them anyway. The heat has jumped up quite a bit these last few weeks and scorched several of the plants, including my highest producing strawberry, so I'm going to have to either buy a curtain or rig one to filter some of the direct sun. In the meantime, pepper update!
Last week I planted a LOT of pepper seeds and have been waiting for them to germinate and a few from the first batch are finally starting to peek through the soil! This is pretty exciting news for me because I didn't do anything special beyond putting the first round of seeds in one of those plastic Jiffy greenhouses.
( Back here so it doesn't take up so much space. )
I should have some leafcutter bees arriving on Friday, which is very exciting. It's possible that they'll stick around where the masons didn't, but the actual forage I have in the garden right now is slim pickings for that volume of bees, so I doubt it. At the very least I'm having a lot of fun watching things grow. It's giving me some good ideas for how to angle my life in terms of both life and career desires.
I hope everyone else out there in internet-land is doing well in strange times.
