Catching Up - April 5, 2009

Today I dug up the pea and snow pea seedlings because I couldn't remember what I had planted where and I had forgotten to mark them in the garden! I reseeded and this time remembered to make garden markers AND document here (they are in the upper bed--peas on the left and snow peas on the right!). Last night I divided and transplanted a few more daylilies in anticipation of rain all day today. We also got 2 of Dave's hops rhizomes planted in a new raised bed (funny how the raised beds for the hops were done quickly with no whining...haha!). At least without the rain I was able to get carrot seeds planted and my 2nd rain barrel set up. Now I have 140 gallon rainwater storage capacity. Woohoo! I've started watering my houseplants with rainwater again. They'll be happy! Now, if it would only rain so I can get the 2nd rain barrel filled up I'll be happy.

Tomorrow I'll be putting plastic over all of the beds because of predicted below freezing weather with a chance of snow. I hope the weather people are lying.

Oh-Something got into the lower bed today and burrowed under my lettuce. I suspect a rabbit although none of the plants showed signs of "nom-ing." I have no idea how a rabbit would get into the bed because of the height we built them (4' square x 2' tall). Need to keep an eye on things! Maybe I can catch that wascally wabbit!
