Today I was encouraged to spend less time on screens and media consumption. Not entirely sure how I feel about this challenge, but I have been wanting to spend some more time gardening and on activities that I’ve just felt too lazy to do. Back in grad school, I did a #365days project with some friends where you take a picture of yourself every day for a year. I’ve periodically thought it would be cool to do something similar with my gardening & greenhouse to help motivate me to do just a bit of gardening each day. So here’s to trying that out. Day 1. Not sure how far I’ll get, maybe I’ll stop tomorrow, but let’s see \ud83d\ude1b I’d like to give myself some grace here so if I manage to get 5 out of 7 days a week, that would be wild success in my book. 1 day out of 7 would still be quite successful too \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today it was hot, 85 F or so, and I spent some time in the greenhouse building a new 74″ shelf I got. My plan is to have 27 gallon sub-irrigated totes on the bottom, a 48x18x6″ plastic storage bin in the middle, and then some potted plants on top. I calculated I have 22″ and 19″ of height for the grow lights, which will be tight but hopefully doable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, my peach tree continues to give peaches. I didn’t thin them enough so they are small and have a lot of bugs\/rot but still pretty tasty – generally way better than most store-bought peaches! I figure I have another week of peach harvest for the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
