I planted my housekeys and seem to have broken my elbow, but I also got a lot done and brought in a bountiful harvest.

I finally conceded my utter inability to concentrate because of the hideous amount of work in the garden that hasn’t been getting done (last real time in the garden was July 5; it’s been one 12-hour work day after another (with brief forays onto Folia to maintain my sanity!)

One bean sprout out of 25, day 13, looking a bit rusty. I usually get beans by day 5. These are the Pinetree ones; I may just go back to good old reliable Burpee. Still no direct-seed onions, carrots (although the carrot seeds are a couple years old, so they might just be done). Chard has not ...
