A Productive Day

Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like you've done nothing?  Not the good kind of doing nothing that follows spring exams or a hard week at work, but an unjustified day of nothing that you end in a slump.  Well, today was one of those days.

Thankfully, a garden is productive even on days when I'm not.  It's one of the reasons that doing laundry is my favorite chore - throw in the clothes, and you're being productive for a whole hour, even if you don't do anything else!  

I did make the effort of spreading out the pine straw that had washed due to yesterday's torrential rain (and even a little hail), checked and moved the mole trap (nothing to report), and weeded some of the raised beds.  I was delighted to discover that none of

the plants washed away, and even the sweet potatoes planted below the raised bed weren't boggy.  Equally as exciting is the evidence that I may soon be able to enjoy more of the produce of my garden.  Little squashes showed up several days ago, and today I discovered that the Lincoln peas have started to produce little flat pods!  The potato plants have flowered, too, which I read means that they have potatoes to unearth!  So at least something had a productive day :)
