I hate having a cold. Especially a lingering one. This one's been around for two weeks and while it got better in the middle, thre was a slight resurgence late last week, and I'm still hacking today.
Which hasn't helped because I have garden working bee at my place on Sunday, and and I need to get all my ducks in a row, ready for when my gardening peeps come along to help me with projects that are just that little too large for me to manage myself.
1. Build a chook pen out of 'rescued' fencing.
2. make a Johnson-Su compost bioreactor
3. use wooden pallets to make composting bays
4. connect up a water tank to the roof gutters so the rainwater goes into the tank
5. move vegepod (garden bed) from current position to new position
On the gardening front, my fruit trees are PUMPING. I'm swimming in peaches right now, and I'm not even close to kidding. Two weeks ago it was nectarines. There's lots of preserving and pickling and drying. Alas, for I don't have a pressure canner (might have to look into that next year). I'll make a post about it....sometime. When I get my brain back from the garden, because that sun is baking my head.
...I was going to bed early tonight to get enough sleep for me to drive an hour up the coast to pick up a bunch of wooden pallets from my aunt's place for the permabee. I had to hire a ute, and...oh damn, I was going to look up other things I could get while I was there. BAH.
