Things done

Well, got quite a bit done today toward getting everything in order around here. Moved all but one or two Sterilites out to the shed, bringing the house very much in order. Moved the storage hutch the ex gave me into the office, to help organize in there a bit more. Have the shed pretty neat. I'd been rather messy with my work area in the yard while building things, so stacked all the wood in one spot. Spread the compost from the pit, mixed it in with the manual cultivator, then raked to even it out. Refilled the compost pit with the bunny compost. Filled the unfinished raised planter with leaves and potting soil. That got rid of several bags and emptied some boxes, which could be stacked and moved aside. Had to pick up garbage in the yard. Seems each time the church behind my yard "cleans up" their parking lot, I wind up having a lot of trash in my yard. 

Took a nap, thinking I'd be working. Got canceled at 5 PM, of course. So, did some laundry and dishes. Did some indoor planting of warm weather stuff. Not a lot of each but enough to get things started. Pickling cucumbers, three kinds of green beans to figure out which to plant more of later, watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. Some of the existing plants inside were looking sickly. Found most needed more root space, so transferred them into larger containers. They look happier already.

Going to dig out and form the south side of the garden tomorrow (by this time, I guess it would be today). Going to take a big chance and try planting some corn and pumpkin today, as well. Figure the worst that can happen is that I have to replant again in a few weeks. Best that can happen is an early crop of at least one of them, maybe both.

Need to take a bath and get to bed or none of that's going to happen.
