Rain

After a week of beautiful weather we are now getting some rain.  It is good for the garden and I don’t have anything to do in it anyways so really a win, win.  I did go out to take a look and saw that all of my lettuce and spinach is just poking through the soil.  There is also some more asparagus to cut, but I am going to hold off until tomorrow so that I can also harvest some stuff growing wild and have enough for dinner.

If the rain continues on tommorrow which it is supposed to I am possibility going to continue work on my Herb Box.  I started it in early spring and then abandoned it when I was able to work outside.  The box is going to be a 5’x 4’x 16” wooden box.  The frame is going to be made of leftover 2’x 4’ that was sitting around the property in the blacksmith shop.  The sides and bottom of the box are going to be made of 3/4” boards from leftover skids.  I happen to have a practically unlimited supply of used skids at work, so although I had to break them apart and pull out the nails, it is nice to be able to reuse old materials.
