anyway I just went for it and scattered seeds tonight - temps are staying above freezing in the foreseeable future, but if I am wrong, I still have plenty of some seeds left. (except, spoiler, I gave the rest of my clover to the new neighbor in the process of making conversation. Plus I was done Casting Aspersions i mean casting seeds.for the day. So hopefully these won't die because I gave the seeds away.)
I did the crimson clover on the south semi-shade hillside that the kitchen window looks at where there was bare soil, and in some other patches where the grass wasn't coming in (like where the town put the fiber line in) - since clover is supposed to help the soil, seems like an ok plan.
And where the septic tank lid is, we had a massive flower patch there but it was down to bare soil too because of the digging, so I used a lot of the 'new hampshire mix' in that patch. (Also I randomly planted some spare strawberries nearby one year and so there are random strawberries there).
last, in the front yard, we already have 2 excellent patches, from last year, but there was another one that was more haphazard -- there were so many acorns though and some were taking root, so I raked those out, and lo, another bare patch of soil.... so it was time to use some of the 2 pounds of zinnias & cosmos.
I did a few (literally, like 6 seeds or clusters thereof) of celery, beets, peas, and basil in our old container bed after refilling the soil.
Also caught some bugs with megan because she's making a Terrarium at school tomorrow and wanted a cute bug to put in it. This little beetle guy is named blake. The spider was named cynthia 2 but meg let her free because carnivores gotta eat. And I got startled by a very large toad in the kayak (while I was trying to get the hose ready).
So, I didn't get the hose, because toad startled me.
I didn't water my seeds tonight, but I think it will rain pretty soon.
i was supposed to go to rotary and help with the community garden tonight, but tired, dan out of town, and wanted to do my own. I semi-napped in the sun for a bit instead.
