Feeling Accomplished....

Which certainly won't last.

But...

Compost pile has been turned.

One batch has been worked into veggie bed.

New seeds acquired.

Initial planting - peas, mesclun, green onions, and carrots.

Shopped for raspberries. So the dilemna is - buy plants @ $15 ea or order bare root for 3/$13.95? Plants will surely bear this fall, bare root maybe/maybe not.

Three loads of laundry

Basic kitchen cleaning

One batch of bread

And, I figured out and found some cool brushes for GIMP! Website design procedes apace. ;-)

Dr. Who has potential this season. New companion is appropriately perky and MUCH less annoying than Donna Noble. New Doctor - I shall as yet reserve judgement. Season premiere - good plot, nearly ruined by bad CG monster. ERg. People. Go with a nice menacing shadow if you can't render something actually frightening. Heck, the chatty crack in the wall was MUCH scarier.

Anneliese was bathed before bed. (Not Rori, but her nap time got a little scrambled, and it seemed best not to push my luck).

I have apparently entertained Dad no end, and he's quite delighted that his baby is taking an interest in the subject he knows most about. He also seriously overestimates me, suggesting blithely that I just write my own compiler and be done with it. I hope he was kidding. In theory I know how it's done. But in practice?

Gotta pull the bread soon. Then off to sleep. And after the yard work - likely to wake up sore.

I would highly doubt that root would bare anything this season, likely better luck with plants if they already have first year growth

Oh, they might. Well, they would, just not much. These are an everbearing strain. They fruit on the old canes in the spring and the new canes in the fall.

Dad mows his to the ground every spring and just harvests one larger crop in the fall.

ah, never had those before... that is kinda cool being how much I love them :)

It's a relatively new variety called "Caroline" - a descendent of "Heritage". Everbearing if left alone, fall-bearing if mowed down in the spring.

According to my Uncle Jimmy, who planted them in Zone 4 - also the heaviest bearing variety he has at the moment.

Just in case you end up somewhere you can plant some someday in the not-too-distane future.
