Falling behind in posts already. On Monday (5/5) I cleaned out the old foundation on 6 frames and added them to the brood chamber that I’d left with three frames after cleaning out the mouse debris.
Bees are busy! And another nice day today.
We got 4.5″ of rain yesterday. The garden beds look pretty good though, albeit a ton of weeding to be done.
On Sunday I planted one row of oats next to the bigger row of peas. I’m still searching for an Aperture Plugin to make it easier to export to WordPress…
Calculating how much wheat to sow in the two rows. The first is in the smaller of the two beds - the row is 61 sq ft. So, at (thinking out loud here…) 5 lbs per 1000 sq ft, this should get .3 lbs., or about 5 oz. Thinking this to much?
The second row is nearly 80 sq ft. So I’ll need 6.5 oz.
Well, I need to get back in the swing of this. Yesterday I pulled up all the old sunflower stalks from last year. I hope I can find someone to till that ground again, I plan to put Sweet Peas along a simple fence I want to put up there.
This looks like an interesting system to me - I wonder if something could (or already is) implemented in our area? It’s a system for trading/bartering goods and services, and stands for Local Economy Trading System.
and hoping for rain.

I was lucky enough to order a new camera today - I look forward to posting photos here soon. I’ll write more about it when it arrives…
