Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thursday was my last day with students and Friday was interviews for the fourth and fifth grade positions that have opened this year.

I have until the 25th of June and then I have to go to Bellingham for SIX days for a training workshop. The day after I get back from that I'm throwing a small celebration for my coworker who is taking a leave of absence for next year and then the next day I leave for the midwest until the 15th. That's a lot of time to be gone from my garden at such a crucial time! Thankfully, D is going to be home to water, weed and harvest. He won't eat the stuff, though, so I'm afraid some of it might go to waste. I have GOT to get a canning element for my stovetop so I can start to preserve stuff.

The peas are really tall now, but no flowers yet. The tomatoes in the topsy turvies have some blossoms but the ones in the ground don't. The broccoli, dill, spinach, and arugula look great. I need to harvest the spinach soon. I should've grown more of it. I only planted a little square of it.

The weather has been crazy. It rained quite a bit today, so I didn't have to water. Nice! I would like to get the plantings around the hammock trees done this summer, but I'm not sure if it'll happen. Every year, if feels like I wake up on the first day back at school and wonder where the summer went and how I didn't manage to accomplish the items on my to-do list.

Tomorrow, I'll be out in the woods shredding more trees for mulch for the veggie garden which is STILL not completely covered in mulch.
