Planting Peas

Thought that I was getting up early this morning. But by the morning routine was finished, it was time for the morning news.  I turned on the news and then fed the cats.  Carol was up a little later.  I fixed breakfast.  After breakfast we watched the morning channel 44 shows.  There were several interruptions.  So we missed part of the shows.  I picked up the mail.  I had sweet potato pie for lunch.  It was creamy for dessert.  After lunch I went out to the garden and planted Green Arrow peas.  Most of the following photos are about the planting.  Most of it may be boring.  I took pictures of preparing the soil for planting and then planting and then covering the seeds with soil.

This show preparation.  I brought over the little Honda tiller which was in greenhouse five.  I tilled down the row and then back up the row.  It took a while to get the warmed up but it did a pretty good job. 
On my hands and knees I was able to plant the seeds.  They were planted pretty thick.
This looks like the same photo as the one above.
Here the seed are planted.
I use this trenching shovel to partially cover the seeds.  I drug it down the row.
The seeds are visible in the row,
I walked up the row walking heel to toe,  That presses the seeds into the soil.
This is the tiller that I used.  The job tilling was made easy.
Rhubarb is starting to come up.  A sign of spring.
More rhubarb.
Two chicken eggs today.
I found another water braker today.  I produce a softer and finer spray.
Grape plants/vines in greenhouse six.
I can't tell what this is.  It looks like aa weed.
A fruit tree in house six,
Another fruit tree in house six.
Another fruit tree.
This evening the temperature cooled off some.   I shut the doors for the night.
Pomegranate shrub is getting pretty green.   We watched TV until we went to bed.

Fillmore Market

I slept in this morning.  I got up and weighed and recorded it. I didn't have time to shave or prayers before the morning news.  I turned on the news and fed the cats.   Carol gets up and I prepared breakfast. After breakfast we watched the morning TV show on channel 44.  I picked up the mail and then came home.  After Lunch we went to Fillmore and bought some groceries.  

I had a light supper of sausage, beans, potatoes and gravy.
I shut the doors in greenhouse five.  The temperature was about 60 degrees.
The green arrow peas are getting tall.  I watered the plants and the pomegranate shrub.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Thursday

I woke up right on time this morning.  but after weighing in, showering, and prayers I started the old fashion oatmeal mush I fed the cats. I also watched some of the news.  Some is bad news.   After breakfast we watched the morning TV shows.  I dozed off and missed part of the shows.   

The chickens are almost out of lay pellets.  I put more lay pellets in the feeder, I also gathered four eggs.
I walked out to the pipe that delivers water to the neighbor's yard.  Our neighbor has moved away and the house is vacant.  I don't know what is going to happen next year.
A lot of alliums coming up in the garden west of the hen house.
The alliums are beginning to grow in the dry garden next to the road.
The daffodils are poking the heads up through the soil by the linden tree.
Some of the lawn is turning green.  We watched TV until we went to bed.

Another Doctor Visit

 


I was a little late at getting up this morning.  I weighed in, showered, said my prayers and then started breakfast. Carol got up a little later.  I fed the cats and started breakfast.  After breakfast I turned on channel 44 to watch my shows.  I was able to watch two shows.  Carol called the Revere clinic and made me an appointment. 9:15. We drove over and was there at the right time.  We waited quite a long time before went into the exam room.  The nurse checked my blood pressure, my temperature and then asked several questions about my health.  She stuck a probe up both nostrils.  The test results were negative.  We had a long wait for the doctor.  The short of it was I was okey. 

We bought some groceries at the Fillmore Market.







I stoped at Ropers and bought a irrigation wand to water the plants in house five.
Here we were waiting in the waiting room to see the doctor.
