Yesterday at the garden:

• weeded the front pea bed
• watered the carrots - it looked like something was coming up, but i thought carrots took a long time to germinate?
• pulled a broccoli plant that didn't look good; its color was off, it was much smaller than the rest, and a cabbage worm was munching it (under the cover, darn it!)
• hoed some extra soil around the asparagus plants
• watered the tomato seeds and transplanted peppers
• potatoes are looking great!

Today at home:

• dug grass from left half of new flower bed
• removed old stump
• added wheelbarrow full of half-rotted compost
• planted blue crop blueberry, two shasta daisies, one ornamental grass (not looking so great, though), one soapwort and two mallows
• wood chips from the city arrived
• sprayed herbicide on the poison ivy, vine plants near neighbor's fence and cedar tree, a few plants just over the fence in the back 40
• dealt with a massive winged ant swarm on the back porch
