Productivity

Taking 3 full classes and working full-time takes up most all of my spare time. I have sooo many things that have gone neglected around my house, so yesterday I made a list of things to do. I didn't have class and even though I had homework to do, as usual, I put the homework aside while the sun was out to hammer out a few things. I finally feel like I've been productive for the first time this year.

Done:
Trim blackberry plant (I transplanted it last weekend and the ends curled up and died)
Check on garlic plants on the back row (nothing growing as of 4/29)
Apple trimmings to the street (we never used the apple wood so I'm letting the recycle guy take it)
Trim tree in front (it's some inedible fruit bearing specimen covered in aphids - my ladybugs are FAT)
Weed/weedwhack front sidewalk area
Empty clippings in yellow bins

Still on the list To-Do:
Move seedlings to bedroom side of the yard
Process lemons (thanks CI for a bagfull of meyers!)
Do something with the red rocks in the strip in front of the house, plant something less ugly there
Move rose bushes from front window to somewhere else, replace with something else

You can see that I finally got some seeds started over the weekend. It was quickly done, haphazard. I opened my toolbox that holds all my seeds, looked at each packet, thought "this sounds good" and scattered seeds in my little seedling starter pots. I didn't label, or make maps. I planted zuchinni, yellow squash, japanese tomatoes, dill, lots and lots of basil (I never had enough last year,) and a few other items I can't think of at the moment. Yes, it was fairly disorganized but it was all the time I had and I figured disorganized was better than nothing at all. So, as the ever-witty ML says, "ch-ch-chill."
