Well, in all the frantic planting, I have managed to mangle my right knee. After planting the remaining 50 strawberries yesterday, I rose from kneeling, and the back of my knee felt like someone had tenderized it with a small mallet. It looks like I've developed pes anserine bursitis from all the squatting and kneeling I did putting down the rabbit fence and planting like mad. Ow.
But the strawberries are in, and I just have a few broccoli, cauliflower, and kale plants left. While I was scheduled to be planting things like potatoes and cucumbers this weekend, it's so cold and rainy that I think I'm going to hold off another week or two, and that will give my tender tendons time to heal.
I sold $17.50 in seedlings today, my first cash sales. I delivered one order to Cambridge because I happened to be in the area for an appointment. Huzzah! Stuff out of my greenhouse! Also, my coir pots came yesterday evening, so I'll be spending most of tomorrow repotting tomatoes, peppers, zinnias, squash, and some cukes. No rest for the mangled.
eeeep!! sorry to hear you're ailing! i am still interested in purchasing plants for my small garden in Cambridge. and we already have rabbits in our garden - a nest of baby bunnies was found while digging up a plot. we (our community gardeners) are all hoping they'll grow fast and move elsewhere.
