I held off from moving some "grown from seed" plants out of the greenhouse and good thing as we've had a few gully-washers too. (most) Everything is growing albeit kinda slowly. For a while it was looking like I might lose the 'maters - they got pretty pathetic looking, but now they've bounced back.
Only one of the Asparagus plants survived. Don't know why (it would help if I had a clue what I was doing).
I've been feasting on fresh Strawberries and Peas (weird combination I know) and if I can keep the slugs out I'm on course for a bumper crop of Zucchini, Cucumber, and Squash. All the herbs are thriving and I've been able to clip a bit here and there for cooking already.
I'm still investigating the possibility of capturing rainwater. It's illegal in the county but fck them. I just don't see the payoff in spending a bunch of cash to catch water. So, ifI can find the drums for free then I'll do it. I'm averaging about 75 gallons a week in water that I've captured using garbage cans (the garbage collector now requires us to their their containers). I know that usage will increase as the weather gets hotter and the crops larger but if I can offset consumption with rainwater then I'll feel better about the efficiencies.
So basically it's keeping me off the streets
