Windy!

It started getting windy yesterday afternoon. Walking the dogs was fun as the sand blew! It continued to howl overnight until sunrise, then it calmed down for a few hours. The wind is now picking up again.

The rain clouds that menaced us most of the day yesterday were mere teasers. We got nothing, but rain fell over northern AZ and northern NM and Colorado, places that are in more of a drought than we are. For now, at least...

The lemon tree in the back yard lost all its leaves from the wind. The Rio Red grapefruit in the front yard lost all its blooms but is now regrowing new shoots, and hopefully new blooms.

I transplanted the Quince and Jujube trees into my Mexican pots. Its roots were already growing out of the plastic one-gallon pot. The quince will go into the soil this summer during the monsoon. Its leaves are coming out nicely now. The jujube's buds are popping out as well.

I also planted six Rutger's tomatoes across the back yard's 4x4s. I accidentally broke a branch off the plum tree with a hose.

Four corn seedlings are growing in the compost pile. Some of the beans are sprouting as well. I tore out two cabbage plants that were badly infested with cabbage beetle eggs.

The mayberry seeding now has its own pot: the old pine box in the front.

Both of the YBoP are budding. The smaller tree in the front yard is now finally budding.

I'm still working on building the new plant section for corn, using recycled soil for the base.

Planted all the dried tomatoes that were in the kitchen. Hopefully we'll have new cherry tomaotes.

The potato plant is finally shooting up new buds...for the third time. Hopefully I can have this plant grow and keep Sadie and Vinnie away.
