Wet Again

Lots of rain recently. But the timing has been good since I was finishing up crew season with our West Coast championship regatta this last weekend down in Sacramento. And down there it was three straight days of rain too. They desperately need that rain down there so it was a good thing overall.

I went out and did some blackberry/vine/invasive plant patrol. I cleaned out under a couple of my roses and weeded my radishes. We are about a week or so awa from radishes. That will be the first official harvest of the year. April kicked some butt over the last week and cleaned up some parts of the yard, planting more flowers where she cleaned up.

We moved the coop back over to the lower back corner so that the chickens will eat up the cover crop left there. Also that frees up the space in the yard that I have to turn over. It is still way too wet to try that. But maybe Friday or Saturday I can recommence taking out lawn to be replaced with food and flowers.
