More rain
It just keeps on raining. We have an inch now, and it's still coming down. It let up for a couple of hours this afternoon, so I let the goats out for a while.
Since I was inside, I did some spinning, crocheting and cheese making. It's good to have an "inside" day to get things done.
Yesterday I was out in the garden most of the day. The strawberry/asparagus bed is finally completely weeded, at least for the time being. It was pretty bad. There was enough vegetation that came out of it to feed all the goats a good amount. They enjoyed that!
We are getting a good amount of asparagus this year. It is so good. I made my first "cream of asparagus" soup tonight. It was okay. Next time I'm going to make my own version, now that I know the basics.
We are going back to the Square Foot gardening method. I've made six beds so far. Got 134 onions planted in one, plus two squares of carrots. You can get a lot of veggies in one bed! I planted potatoes in two others. Peas along the back of three of them. It will be interesting to see how it all goes this year. This spring has been slow, so the garden is just now getting planted. Thankfully, we usually have a late autumn, so we should still get a good harvest.
Well, that's it for now. More as it happens.....
