Yesterday I potted up some peanut cuttings, watered the nurseries and pushed the lawnmower on gulch trails and some of the driveway up here. Realised I still had about 5 gallon jugs of "long" peanut cuttings to plant out. Tackled the Mercedes again, got the old alternator out, got the new one in...
Today I planted out those 5 gall's of peanut cuttings, and made 5 more, and finally got around to setting up bathtub wormfarms in the old bamboo prop house. The fridge farms haven't been the greatest success, mainly due to being in the sun and not easily accessed by hose water, so they have been drying out. In the shade they will dry out less rapidly, and I will put peanut pots over them so that when dry they will get watered anyway.
Harvested a big dioscorea yam in the process of clearing the area for the tubs. One planted probably yielded about 5 pounds of tuber. Of course, I couldn't get it all out since they go so deep, and hopefully it will come back again in the spring.
