what to do with the weekend?
Last summer i planted some corn to see if the stuff would grow and it did. No, I didn’t actually eat it – events conspired to keep me from it, but I’m sure it was delicious.
This summer I want to expand my garden to include beans, peas, maybe some squash. The kids want to plant some melons and maybe some tomatoes. I think Ben wanted to plant some potatoes.
This weekend i need to test the soil to see if it needs an amendments / fertilizer. I saw some articles that stressed how important it is to make sure the pH is correct. I don’t mind deviating from recommendations, but I think I should at least know what the state of the soil is before I decide not to follow someone’s advice.
I need to expand my meager plot so it can accommodate all the goodies I plant. No corn this year. It grew just fine, but I think the minimum amount of space it requires is more than I want to devote to it.
I also did some research and determined that I should do my planting in the middle of May except for the peas. They get started two weeks earlier.
I hear it will rain all day Sunday. I was thinking about reading that “Angels and Demons” book by Dan Brown. It comes after “The Davinci Code” and it looks like there’s a good movie version coming out soon.
The girls are all signed up for softball. Chloe has a new glove and we bought a couple of softballs so we can practice. We can try getting them warmed up for the season. I saw on their website that the season doesn’t open until the city officially opens the fields at the end of April, depending on the weather.
Otherwise, I think it promises to be a quiet weekend.
