May 4, 2011
Last week and the beginning of this week was busy in the garden and the bees swarmed again yesterday. Ken Gambill and I set up a new corn project and started heirloom corn in permaculture beds with horse manure as a growing base and the white feed bags to trap water. We also planted 4 rows of control to see the difference. I planted heirloom bush beans and zucchini so I am wishing for rain and have the sprinklers going to get a good start.
The new moon on Monday after Beltane means that the summer growing season is coming on strong and I took advantage of the energy to plant. The plants in my test beds are taking off but still slowly since the nights are still cool, which I am somewhat thankful for.
My husband, friends and I had a wonderful time at the Beltane Ball Saturday night and danced and visited with old friends. Sunday morning we were up early to attend the Beltane ritual sponsored by RHPC at Railroad square, I did not stay for the May Pole dance since I had to go to work. I am posting a few photos tonight and will follow up in the next few days with some of my permaculture projects and their progress.
