The Good:
My calendula flowers have started coming up. My starts are weathering the elements fantastically after 6 days of hardening off. (I hope to plant them Thursday...) After thinning my snap peas, they are doing great. The baby lilacs are thriving. And best of all, I have been seeing honey bees foraging all the time. Just a few minuets ago I saw one investigating my starts on the patio.
The Bad:
Today I pulled a GARBAGE BAG full of poison ivy off our property. (Wearing pants, long sleeves, two pairs of gloves, boots and goggles.) This was after ripping out tons of it on Saturday. And there is still tons more out there. Of course as a beekeeper, and a citizen of Earth standing in defiance agains Monsanto, Round-up isn't an option. Although after some research I am thinking Tamworth pigs. Pig roast anyone?
As Lola would say these days, "Uh-oh!"
