We've had sun for four days straight, and I've been able to get a lot done outside.
I've finally gotten the weeds under control, especially the bittercress. I like to keep ahead of it because it flowers and goes to seed so quickly. It has those hateful little seed stalks that explode when you touch them, sending their seeds flying in all directions.
I put three cubic feet of steer manure on the asparagus. I just left it on top of the bed. Once it rains it should trickle down to the plants.
With no rain for quite a while, some things were starting to look dry. I watered some of the pots, including the two citrus trees. I also watered the asparagus, strawberries, and new fruit trees. I noticed some things are beginning to come to life. The red flowering currants out in front have buds, as well as the blueberries and fruit trees, except the apples. Also, the elderberries and vine maples are showing signs of life.
Yesterday we saw the first crocus on our neighborhood walk.
