Started planting out top swale on monday thye second of january, with 3.5 inch pots of perennial peanut (arachis sp.), pidgeon pea seedlings, a few hawaiian chili plants, some comfrey and a monstera deliciosa. Some of the peanut pots had volunteers or juhnny come lately sesbania sesban's (I probably reused the potting mix from trays of sesbania propagation efforts that I thought were all finished) so I dropped them in a little further along so as to save the "ocean view". Also put in one inge sort of in the middle of the "gulchlet" on that top swale...
Also picked up the last lot of mulch from the top paddock, and experimented with the hay rake, which unfortunately was a bit of failure. It did okay with the nahiku but didn't stand up to the longer stuff.
I really should get along and water all that lot from yesterday...
Until I get a calndar to jot them down, rainfall on January 2 was 28 mm, January 3 was 2mm.
