Beltane Waxing Last Frost Moon
Cherokee Trail of Tears. Hutterite. Soup beans and green beans. Vidalia onions from sets grown in Georgia. Purple passion and white asparagus. Three varieties of tomatoes. Golden beets. Pretty much the last of this year’s non-succession planting. Mark’s been a big help, letting Kate and I focus on the things we do best. One or two things remain: cucumber, gourds, but they’re delayed right now. So Artemis Hives and Gardens has all the bees in their colonies, early and post-frost vegetables plants in the ground and daffodils and tulips and our magnolia providing color. The fruit tree’s buds have swollen; the currants have fully leafed out; the quince has its bright red flowers; the gooseberry plants are in a new home with more sun and Kate has planted shade lovers in the spots where the gooseberries were.
Left to figure out. What crop(s) to grow in the hydroponics during the summer. How to take good care of the fruit trees and their produce. Succession dates for the rest of the growing season. Mulching and pruning. Weeding.
My object list for my Thursday early evening Love, Sex and Scandal tour: Venus figurine, The Singer Su Hsia0-Hsia0, Theseus Killing the Centaur, Bacchante and Satyr, Mlle. Lange as Danae, Lucretia, The Little Girl, The Living Room. This group wanted edgy. This tour will qualify.
Late to bed last night, a great day today so I planted in the am, but I still need to do Latin. Not so easy with a fuzzy head. Probably nap time.
