I have a different Daycare parent coming tomorrow to meet us. She needs childcare for the full week next week. My regular drop-in Daycare child seems to have stopped coming here. This happened when I told her not to bring her sick child to daycare. She was welcome to come back when she wasn’t contagious.
We spent some time in the backyard garden. I weeded in the peavpatch, Swiss chard, and potatoes. The twins snacked on Swiss chard, dill, a few peas that were ready, ting baby carrots from me beginning to thin out some rows. I am a bit hit and miss with growing carrots. Last year I replanted because they took so long to sprout, I planted the rows between the existing rows. We ran out of carrots before the end of the growing season. This year I seeded too much, especially in the last few rows. I’m trying to thin them out so they’ll grow bigger. I took a pair of sharp scissors to the vining squash plants, cut most of the ends of the vines, except one area that still has some room left to grow. My research said to trim the ends of butternut squash vines at 60cm, my plants are already larger than that. I used an entire small bag of bonemeal (only one I found at WM) on my squash patch and around my tomato plants. The last few years my garden has been calcium deficient. I’ll need more bonemeal.
I keep a running list of stuff to buy from various stores and Amazon.ca. I need to check for bonemeal and swim suit detergent.
