We’ve been busy out in the gardens getting things cleaned up, hauling in compost, weeding, etc. Out in the countryside things still haven’t greened up much, but it’s getting there. Here in town, though? Everything is growing like crazy. I had to mow the lawn already last week and I’ll probably have to do it again in the next day or two. We have a whole line of cilantro coming up in one of the raised beds from seed that was dropped last fall so we’re pleased with that.
It’s still way too early to put out the vegetable plants. Its still getting down to freezing temperatures at night.
We’re scaling back on a lot of things this year because we still have quite a bit of pasta sauce, frozen green beans and peppers left from last year. We just over planted. That’s better than not enough, but we have enough pasta sauce to last us almost another year.
And best of all we have solar panels sprouting on the south facing garage roof! 10, 400W bifacial panels are going up there. I don’t think all of them will get up there today. Didn’t get started until almost 2 in the afternoon. But it looks like they have 6 of them up so they’re doing pretty good.
And that’s about it for now. I want to get out there and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!
