The weather this weekend was quite reversed from what would have been convenient, but part of the point of living in the real world is that things aren't convenient, and we get to make do. Planted another barrel with radishes and lettuce, and thinned out the radish seedlings from 2 weeks ago. I tossed those thinnings into a barrel I haven't planted yet. While it was unceremonious, a few of them might take root and give me something to nibble on before I turn the whole thing under to plant tomatoes there in another 6 weeks or so.
I discovered the wonders of Power Point as a garden record tool. Because I have half-barrels, I set up one slide with the appropriate number of circles in approximately the same arrangement as my garden. I set it up with what was left in the garden at the end of winter (too much dead stuff, not enough green manure). Then I copied the whole slide over to the next slide, and wrote in the changes I made in the first week I worked out there. Each week or two when I get out to the veggie garden I'll be able to copy the slide and record my changes. I even put together a color coding system to track germination, growth, harvesting, and fallow periods. This will be pretty fun.
