Chives

Got up feeling more or less back to Well. At least, no long coughing fits last night, nor much this morning. I should clean the kitchen, and I may do so a little later. Instead, I turned the compost pile, and incorporated the coffee grounds that have been sitting in the garage all winter and the grass clippings left for me by neighbor Mike (of Spike, the dog, and Mike.)



Sifted out a substantial amount of lovely loose compost. This was all to put in the tomatoes.



The pease and chives continue to thrive. I mulched generously with crushed eggshells, added the climbing cages, and encouraged them to rise up joyously.



The parsley is going nuts this year. The hen&chickens are looking rather excellent as well.




Got some more catnip for the porch, as well as a few marigolds. And a small thyme plant to jumpstart the verge growth. The seeds are so far very shy, while the old weeds are trying to make themselves at home, despite me kicking them out repeatedly. Buckwheat is arriving nicely, but not as thickly as I'd hoped. It is very early, yet, despite how it feels. Not even really time to plant, a week early. Not that I worry about frost this week.

I did get the dishes running. Cleaned half the counter. Serious house cleaning to start tomorrow.
