May 26, 2006 - Garden and Building
Today was one of those rare days that more “farming” got done than planned. Spent the morning loading up a load for the dump and getting supplies in town and in the afternoon started getting ready to reroof the back side of the old machine shed. First task was to nail 2×4s across the roof into the rafters. The roof has a great hump (where two buildings were joined). So, I tore all the asphalt and cedar shingles to get down to the sheeting on the hump to help smooth out the hump. Got all the boards pounded in.
Even got three sheets of roofing up - about nine feet. I was hoping to get it done this long weekend, but about 3/4 done today - should be a snap!
Linda got some serious weeding done today.
Here’s a view down the onions and potatoes.
GJ got lots of patio blocks set around the new raised beds. It was hot and calm - a day that felt and smelled like summer. So it was the first time to Ev’s in town for ice cream after dinner.
Any guesses what this crop is?
These are Chinese cabbage and raddicchio - looks like they like the wet weather of late.
