Did some gardening today.
Planted some strawberries, taters and onions. Also spent a lot of time in the greenhouse starting some more seeds, thinning existing seedlings, and general just plant care.
This little greenhouse so far has take some hefty winds and has exceeded my expectations. I've been having a lot of fun with it and go and visit it several times a day.
Actually went to the garden center yesterday and got a couple of shubunkin koi and water hyacinth to put in the pond with my el-cheapo comet gold fish. If I knew the water hyacinth was the same weed I used to love bass fishing on in the Cali Delta, I would have just drove down and got some. But that would have been way more expensive than 2$ a piece for four. The shubunkin were not so cheap...
Was a lot of fun, but I got too much sunlight. My face is burned, I'm beat, but I had a good time.
These are some shots from the greenhouse and my hillbilly koi pond. Sharon called it an accidental koi pond. I spent 45 minutes out there just watching them swim around and eat. Very relaxing.
I blame this new underground aquarium completely on Bill Lantry for goading me into making it.
