  • Scatterbrain. To-do list, and just some thoughts

    I'm surprised more people don't have blogs here at healthkicker. Most people who participate here seem to be xangans!

    Alrighty, so what have I done already?:
    I've more or less crunched the numbers of the space we have alotted to us, all the stuff we're gonna get (though I'm working on the quantity as I go), I've so far bought:
    Dwarf banana seeds
    Blackberry seeds
    _____________________
    Transplanted some things.
    Gathered red maple seeds, and have a couple young maple trees that I'm raising (some're looking like they may die, won't know til next spring since they could just be going into an early sleep).

    Mom's bought:
    hot peppers
    sweet peppers
    bell peppers--
    unknown but heirloom type peppers
    hungarian wax peppers
    eggplant --
    beefstake tomato--
    unknown new type of tomato
    roma tomatos
    danvers carrot
    red creole onion
    green everbunching onions
    califlower
    spinach
    collards
    cohlrabi

    This: --
    Means: I was gonna buy 'em, but Mom went on a shopping trip and got them.

    Not all the things that Mom's bought have arrived yet.
     My seeds have.
    I've also bought some lemongrass today.

    Plants we currently have:
    I have...
    mimosa flamboyante in the house
    unknown type of rose bush. I'm told they'll have pink flowers.
    A miniature rose, red flowers. Keeping indoors.
    Hyssop

    The family has...
    strawberries
    purple lilac
    white lilac (I'm nursing this one back to health indoors atm)

    Mom has...
    lots of indoor plants that I have no idea what they are.
    Rhubarb
    chard

    We've not yet transplanted or gathered seeds from:
    sunflowers
    corn
    mint
    marigolds
    and some other things...but I forget what they are lol.

    ^ The directly above are on my to-do list.
    Also on my to-do list:
    Start digging new beds
    work on compost/mulch
    figure out how many plants I need to grow, where based on how much it'd produce and how to maxmize the health of the plants.
    Plant my blackberries
    find a pot to start my dwarf banana in
    buy more plants/seeds (like buying this wolfberry aka goji seeds in a little over an hour on ebay)
