I can feel I’m back in the thick of things when I feel one of those big TO DO lists coming on. And boy, is there a lot to do! I decided to put these lists in my sidebar and I’ll cross out as I get things done (and for each item crossed out I will no doubt add another). Here they are, for now.
Do because necessary for planting seeds:
- plan garden: what to grow when and where
- set up seed germination areas and seedling area (buy lights, fixtures)
- buy seed growing supplies (flats, peat pots, potting mix)
Do because it’s easy, inside, and almost everything is right here:
- finish hay box and experiment
- count, clean, store mason jars (buy lids)
- collect emergence things and organize space (buy some equipment)
- move things from Annex into basement
Do outside when weather gets better:
- turn compost heaps
- make compost/soil screen
- make more compost bins (buy materials)
Research:
- chickens: town regulations: we can!
- soil amendments: which and pricing
- garden fence
- greenhouse (book from library)
- berry bushes, fruit trees
- floors and drainage (lean-to, shed, greenhouse) (get free pallets)
- deck
- terracing for slope
- “wetland” area: which plants, boardwalk
