Dishwasher needed emptied and reloaded. Laundry needed done, crockpot dinner started, yard picked up, puppy pool emptied and brought up, hose pulled in (mower guy showed up), etc.
Bathroom needed cleaned. Kitchen table cleaned off. Carpets needed vacuumed. Dog needed brushed. Beef needed cooked for Jesse. I needed to mail in a paper for daughter for her intern work.
Trash needed to go out. Chickens needed tending. I got more orders for hot pads, but need to make them also. Library books needed to be returned. I needed to figure out what to make and take to a cookout this weekend, and the following (when is a girl gonna get time for a motorcycle ride with all this stuff going on? Just say no?).
Recipes needed written and filed. Senior pictures needed taken (again, day 2). My tote that I store my garden starts in, with shelving needed put back in storage. Boxes needed broke down and stored to use in the garden. Flower beds and herb garden still need weeded. Fridge needs cleaned out still.
Cake decorating doo-dads needed put away, the rest of the radishes needed pulled....list is endless right now.
GAH!!!
I just said no after 2pm and took a long break on the porch. Cold coffee with a splash of goodness did the trick.
Ignore. Ignore. Ignore that list for now.
Here is what I did get done, and it wasn't on the list.....
This is where I planted the radishes, sweet potatoes and other potatoes. Grass is about 4 feet high. I got half the radishes dug up. Some are still small, so I'm weeding out the grass now. Plants look good despite. I got all the garlic but what I couldn't find dug up, and all the green beans weeded. One row was a fail. I just dug up the plants that lived (about 5 sadly) and moved them to the other row. Hubby has permission to mow it down for me.
I got the radishes trimmed and scrubbed, and garlic in an area to dry. Bulbs are much smaller.
I am mowing down the garlic bed and saying goodbye to it. We will not be using it, and downsizing. I'll plant the garlic in the other garden. We have plans to rip up all the raised beds and rebuild and do it differently as well.
A tractor just went to the top of the wish list. If the pasture isn't mowed down, we have this issue every year, and the spring rain made it worse this year. We may look to hire someone this year though.
