The iffy weather last weekend led me to do non-veggie garden yard work. I pruned my big bay leaf bush back down to a reasonable size and cleared out more of my evil bamboo. I swear if that bush did not have yummy bay leaves that we use for cooking, I'd whack it all the way down to the ground just like I did with my out of control laurel hedge ten years ago.
In the mean time, my radishes have continued to grow and my peas are coming along. My two rows of lettuce, however, have disappeared. I suspect slugs may have ate them as we have had some relatively wet weather lately. I'm not too concerned because this early planting was an experiment.
I'm taking today off from work to get some garden prep done in the morning and then some crew coaching in the afternoon. Lewis & Clark is on spring break, so practices have been during my working hours and I have not been able to take time away from work until today. As far as my garden prep goes, I'm going to get out the shovel and start turning soil where I planted cover crop last Fall. Depending on how much I get done, I'll either turn in some compost today or on Sunday.
