I checked on the sweet peas and lettuce in the office's community garden plot Tuesday morning. The peas are 6" tall or better, blooming, and putting out runners. I hammered 3 stakes into each of the 3 rows (the plot is only 10' x10') and ran jute garden string between them. The jute will likely stretch and sag, but it will have to do. I also planted two of the purple grape tomato plants I sprouted from seeds. I'd hope to have all the tomatoes in the ground by now, but the rest of the tomato plants that I sprouted look pitiful. In the next few days, I'll be buying tomato plants, both for the community garden and for our vegetable garden.
We walked down to Nanny's last evening to see if the peas we planted on Sunday had sprouted after the rain. They had not. The broccoli and cabbage plants are growing well.
We haven't planted our squash, okra, and cucumber seeds yet, but I hope to get them in ground this week.
My work on the archive has kind of stalled. I am ready to get to archivin', but we do not yet have space. The wheels of government turn slowly. Committees have to meet, and discussions must be had. You know how that goes.
