I harvested a really big bowl of lettuce and then dug up the plants so we could work on the raised beds. The lettuce plants were leftovers from last year's garden. We also pulled up all the carrots that overwintered. We'll have to see if the carrots are too woody but we certainly got a lot. This isn't even counting the two bowls of carrots we'd pulled earlier this spring.
I looked online for tips on using overwintered carrots. Looks like carrot cake and roasted carrots are the two best options. Boiled carrots will take 45 minutes if they are woody.
Jim then helped me put some bags of mushroom compost and top soil on three of our four raised beds. He took the rototiller to the beds so they look great and are ready for me to plant seeds.
I potted a bunch of petunias and impatiens for both the front and back yards. We ran out of potting soil so we had to go to Fred Meyers to get more.
We did more weeding too (always doing weeding) and talked about where we want the electrician to run a power line out to the greenhouse. We're having an electrician come out to hang our new ceiling fans, rewire the garage, and run power out to the greenhouse. Apparently the wiring in the garage isn't quite up to code. So before we do any more work in the garage we'll have that taken care of.
I also worked on the table legs for the table we're building for my study. I'm spraying them with black enamel. I'm hoping that we start on the table top soon.
After that I took a nap. For four hours! I guess all that fresh air and sunshine was more than I could handle.
