It’s been a hot end of May but we are chipping away at the springtime “must do” list. Planting the garden, building the new perimeter fence, and keeping everything watered and alive during this heat wave has taken up most of our days.
Here’s some pics of the garden beds, most things aren’t germinated yet because they were just planted. Yeah the weather had been nice but we don’t really trust Minnesota weather to put tender plants out any earlier than the last week of May. We’ve been burned frosted too many times!
You can see in the 3rd photo that those beds are beyond a fence… That will soon be contained within our new perimeter fence. Gotta get that installed before the corn pops up and the deer find it!
Also used this hot weather to wash a few skeins of yarn I finished in the last week. 3 skeins of alpaca and 1 of angora rabbit from a friend. The rabbit’s name was Theodore and I’m pretty sure it’s the absolute softest thing I’ve ever touched 😍 I can hardly stop squishing it and saying “oh my god it’s So. Soft.”
Anyway, using this heat to quickly dry yarn is one perk I suppose. Now, back to finish watering the garden… 🌱
