Let's get the pond out of the way first. Guys started at about 930 and worked for 2 hours or so then nothing. It appears that the trackhoe had an issue. Had some stuff to do during the day and when I got back in the afternoon, they evidently got it running again. So, no pics to speak of today really 'cause the work was limited.
Now, the garden. I've started seed indoors for tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers today. I'm using the Burpee planters from last year, except I'm using home-made soil blocks in the trays instead of the preformed pods. Supposedly, using soil blocks completely eliminates transplant shock associated with pushing them out of the pods. I made my own soil block maker from leftover pvc I had lying around. I'll take some pictures and post later once the seeds sprout. I also started with 3 types of peas, two of them are shell peas and the third is a pod pea (cook the pod as in Asian types of cooking).
Something you should know about this year's garden. It's really mostly going to go to waste and that's because Gina and I plant to go to New England and the Canadian Maritimes from June through mid August. But, I've got a bunch of new ideas and techniques I'd like to try.
