Just as soon as I bought it the sun came out, and all of the clouds went away. A whole week later we have some rain to finally begin the process of filling up my 200 L tank under the downspout. While I did appreciate the sun and warmth, I do also want to get some fresh water stored up in the barrel for my fruit trees. I think I might plant some sweet corn in the yard just for a hoot. See if I can, sort of thing. Tried last year, but 8 misjudged the beans as corn in seed form and I don’t much care for doya beans myself. But having my own sweetcorn? Yeah buddy! We’ll see how it does with my dog bothering everything out in the yard each evening.
I have to wait until early to mid May to plant the corn, so it’s not a rush at the moment. Not while we still have single digit or negative temps at night. Gotta have warm ground, and no more Frost’s for the seeds to kick off, and not die. I am excited to see if it will take in the soil we have on hand near the cherry trees. Could be a total bust! I might try in two spots. One out front and one around the back. Both have to be near a hose with available water. Not that I intend to baby the potential corn crop. But I’d like to see it get established, then step back and leave it alone to do its thing.
Speaking of water, I need to top up the fish tank. Our surviving six fish have lasted for several months now. They all seem to be getting along, and eating on the regular. I washed out the filters and bubbler several weeks ago, and nobody died. That’s a plus!
Happy Saturday to you all.
