I didn't get the Nasturtium seeds started the other day. Need to do that because they're attractive plus allegedly highly beneficial to the garden. Mine didn't grow so well last year because of all the grass and weeds. Also need to get dill started. Dill I may keep in a pot inside. It's mostly a cool weather plant, runs to seed when it gets warm, then leaves decrease and ultimately fail.
Need to break out the weed whacker tonight and clear some areas which I could not clear any other way. Even though the grass is brown in those spots, it's still really strong and fibrous.
Aside from some limited areas as mentioned and repairs from dog damage, the garden is looking good so far. Not much coming up yet. Hope the ammonia and acid helps. Of course, getting the irrigation in place was a major step. That happened somewhat late but the weather was too schizo for a while. Still schizo but in a more amicable range for things to have a chance to start growing.
The filters I improvised seem to be doing quite well. Filled a white bucket with water the other day. Historically the water looked very slightly brownish. This time it looked clear and slightly bluish. Long as it keeps mineral deposits out of the drip emitters, I'm happy. This does mean the nitrates and only the most soluble of iron content will make it through. I'm sure having a cap in place will do some good.
Few things have been waiting on something rather simple. Garbage pickup. The trash can for pickup was completely full. They just picked up a minute ago. Before they did, I looked out and saw the lid was open. Apparently someone went through my garbage last night or this morning. Not much to find in there but dead grass, dog poop and chicken bones.
The last two pups have their eyes open and are trying to wander around a little. Not much success yet.
