Spring is coming,planting ahead!

Hooray for longer days ahead; while I appreciate each season for what I can get done,spring is very motivating and a mood lifter.

Seeds harvested from last year are out for future potting on the kitchen table;experiments with a warming tray using hotel pans,cooling racks and tray domes from broken seed trays under way-house needs humidity so this would be fantastic should it work.

The citrus have done well in back under the new roof,had been worried as I was unable to move to the garage this year. So far so good,the direct sun they do get in AM helped a lot. And even with all the wind,the shelving from the previous greenhouse stayed in place.

In practice I have a notebook I call my “external hard drive” so I can flowchart my thoughts and tasks towards specific goals.

  • Fabric sort for aprons,repair,and pocket belts.
  • Rotate thread for heavy,regular and hand sewing.
  • Maceration of dried rose petals for beads,labeling the occasion or the source.
  • Inventory herbs for backyard outdoor kitchen;dire need for garden plots for the cook.
  • Dry erase or butcher paper for sewing room note taking? Do I really need to catalog everything?

Long term goal is to get to a zero balance of things on my to do list,without sacrificing what the house needs to be comfortable and functioning. From there,I can extend what Repairelle can offer and possibly make new AND make do.

One thought on “Spring is coming,planting ahead!”

  1. Definitely dry erase over paper. This has been less messy and efficient in my craft area. I also added magnets to hold high priority paper notes onto the white board for current projects details, or deadlines, not already written on my to-do list. I keep it simple and only as detailed as absolutely necessary. I kept a steno pad nearby for more details of the projects. Worked great! Best wishes!
