Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[Bugbear]

Just coming in to rest a few minuts. Things are picking up a bit out there in the garden. I'm still weeding, and I fertilized the citrus trees. I'm about to water them, but I will do several loads of laundry before and after that so I can add the gray water in. It's spring!

* I got the first round of laundry going, and I am roasting a chicken breast. Now that there is a bunch of work to do around here, I will be swiching over to less rice and more meat or chicken. It really does seem to make a difference while I'm working. the next few weeks will be a lot of work out there. Not all hard work, but I will be busy, busy, busy. It's nice to be able to come sit down for a while and look at what's going on. I'll give updates too. This is the time of year that my property becomes a micro farm with micro farm work... I'm sure String knows a little about that.

* I got the first load of laundry hung on the drying rack, I don't have a clothes dryer, and the second load is running. The chicken breast is probably done, I was pot rosting it, and I'll eat it in a few. I've been eating a few handfuls of dry oatmeal here and there, Like a horsey. I'm not going to do any more weeding while the sun is shining on me, it was a little bright for my pail skin, but I'll kind of work in the shade of the cottage as it creeps across the yard. I think I should probably find a dust mask too.

Well, guess I'll eat and then it's back to work.

* I guess that was the third load of laundry I hung up a while ago. I decided that was enough laundry for now. BTW, the chicken was good.
It's a quarter after four right now, I'm waiting for the sun to get lower. There's a large crop of weeds on the side of the cottage that I need to pull. They will go in the compost, so it isn't so crazy to let them go a bit and get fattened up.

Even though the "gardening in a kilt" experiment is over, and has been for a good while now, I can post a review of the tool pouch and belt that I bought yesterday. It's working out well, and I'll post a review before long. I also took a pare of old worn out socks, rolled one up and put it in the other one, tied it in a knot with a thin rope attached and tied in, and now I have a toy for the cats to play with. It's hanging from that set of shelves I put up for them. I'll also post the story behind why I have six kitty cats.
