I haven\u2019t ventured out in the car since 3\/13. It is now something of an enjoyable game to see how long I can go before I need to go out and resupply. That could still be awhile; the cats still have at least 12 days worth of canned food, and I still have plenty of supplies for myself. I had slowly prepped the #ladybassbunker over time in case something did happen…but I was thinking hurricanes or somesuch. It is nice to see those plans do work now that they are in practice. #introvertgoals<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Got out in the garden today to get some sun; I\u2019m hoping I can unfuck my sleep schedule. Burnt two piles of brush in the fire pit, and rototilled the back garden. This was my largest plot yet for the lower garden.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Planted the starts in the lower garden. I was rewarded with a rainstorm after they went in. The starts were looking for room to stretch out and get bigger. Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, \u201cheritage\u201d cherry tomatoes, and sweet peppers were planted today. I had seeded produce used in cooking to grow all these starts back in February; the only cost to grow them was the potting soil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tomorrow I add the green beans and more snow peas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I made a few potato bins. Add a layer of soil, drop the potatoes in, and add soil as they grow foliage. Dump the bins when the foliage dies back in midsummer and pick out your potatoes. Easy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure my neighbors think I\u2019m now going to hold my own Burning Man event. I erected the largest cane tepee I\u2019ve ever done. Someone had cut and dumped bamboo canes from a nearby bamboo grove. I found the dumped pieces of cane down a birm while I was out on a walk, so I bundled it up and brought it home. I\u2019m going to grow snow peas and asparagus beans up this structure. Since asparagus beans can be 2-3 feet long, I figured the height would be welcome. The seeds are already in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cut wisteria vines (they were spreading around the property anyway) and wove the fresh cut vines between the legs of the tepee to make a biodegradable structure that was also somewhat sturdy. This will also give the vines of the plants more supports.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I got the new bass out tonight. I had purchased it for my birthday, had a few good days to enjoy it when I could…and then everything went to hell. It was nice to go outside, unplugged, and just play.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I usually have a busy week or three getting the garden started, and then there\u2019s a transition back to playing music more. The rewards of the fresh food in midsummer are worth it, to me anyway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tired. Good productive day though. No mental fog from too much screen time or being sedentary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the end of the day. I once again say my new daily mantra; \u201cI got through today. Now just do it again tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
