A Journal of Urban Living

The chickens are growing so the coop construction must be completed soon.  The drip irrigation heads are installed and the lines need to be run.  The Valencia Orange is the last of the potted citrus that needs to be planted.  (The kumquat will stay in a pot.)  The fig and the bay we lost this summer need replacing.  It’s also about time to set up the seedling starting station in the shed.

• Beer – brewed Saturday. All grain-bitter. Next time we’ll use yeast that’s not past its (their?) expiration date.
• Bees – finished painting the hive. I just need to wax the starter strips. Oh, and I need bees
• Citrus – candied the remaining kumquats on Sunday. I’m not sure what we’ll do with them.  Sprayed the lemon with soap for an unknown pest.  I need to look at the extension site.
• Sprouts – started basil and cress micro-greens. Mustard sprouts.
