Friday we did the same old same old perennial peanut prop stuff... I planted out some mulberries from pots and some cuttings from Joan's for the chicken fedge (fence/hedge). Also a fig and a handful of papaya's around the chicken house to cash in on their manure, and grow some food for them in situ... Then I went around to Joans and loaded some shelving that she had offered for me. Some of it should work well in the nursery to increase its capacity, and we'll probably have enough to line the walls of the other container...
Saturday, Lorinda had harp circle Lichen and I dropped her off and then cruised up to Makawao library. We also drove around the backrounds heading out to Olinda. Saw a few nice crows ash trees, but nothing interesting was seeding that I saw...
At home I processed more peanut cuttings, and potted some more up. After about 5 I went out and pulled weeds in different spots around the barn garden. Amazingly some of the weed border plantings are so dense that the sweet potato is getting shaded out already... The side closest to the house is a real hassle, with so much good stuff amongst so many running weeds.
Around dusk the phone rang, and Tim our newest wwoofer had made it to Door of Faith Rd, so I went and picked him up in the biodiesel family car...
