I’ve been plugging away with gardening tasks after work this past week. I laid out a second bed, which is going to be for herbs and pollinators. (Eventually, this will be all one long bed, but baby steps to that.)
And then, I’m rather ridiculously proud that I set this up all by myself. The instructions mentioned two people and a step ladder. I had already slotted it in for one of the hour and half a timeframes between when I get done with work and the BF gets done with work, and I just wanted to do it on my own. And I did!
So with the trellis up, I started planting. There are kale, collards and broccoli (with alyssum on the edges) under the trellis, and Swiss chard (interspersed with cosmos) and calendula at the end of the bed. And that’s where I stalled out because it suddenly got cold, and rainy. I have things staged and ready to go, probably on Tuesday, when temps are scheduled to pick up again. And, I have the whole week off, so plenty of time to plant.
