We've had about 4 days of sunshine in a row, now...which means the gardens are starting to put on some growth...including, of course, THE WEEDS!!! I'll be so glad when the donks are trained up for the cultivator, that's for sure. I've been spending my mornings of the last 3 weeks or so helping my driving mentor train her new mammoth geldings to drive team & 3-abreast. She gave me a parade harness that her smallest donk Lippy Luvver Luc outgrew...now Jenny-Mae will be on track for doing garden work - covered in bling! Like my mentor Kristi says, "Girls have to look good, ya know!"
The radishes are needing to be pulled, not enough other stuff ready yet to make it worthwhile to go to market. But the spinach, lettuce & mesclun are coming on by next weekend, if anyone's interested, let me know - I'll sell what 's available and can deliver locally. Need about 10 solid days of sunshine for the peas to blossom & set.
Oh, and this Saturday (June 18th) is the White Bird Days Parade! Kristi's driving Teamdonk #1 in it...and guess who's along for the ride doing 'candy duty'?!? Yup, I got "volunteered" to sling the candy & to head the donkey boys when we come to a stop, so that the kiddies can pet the big boys. So Saturday, instead of hauling ass, they'll be hauling me!
Hope to see ya there!
Ugh...gotta go rescue my truck from the field...replacing a starter in the rain is so not fun.
