Birds

I took the day off today.  I went skiing in the back country with my dad, up by Sierra City.

It’s part of my sanity reclamation plan, taking days off.

Tomorrow is Sunday.  I’ll get there around six (it’s hot this week!), but I’ll knock off early, probably 5.

Since I was gone today, I only spent a couple of hours at the farm - watering and generally being anxious about the birds.  I have three really important beds - salad mix/baby spinach, radish, mesclun mix - they are all in the early stages of their lives, and prime candidates to be mowed down by the birds.

I kept them covered with agribon, which only caused anxiety because it was so hot today.

Well, it all worked out fine.

Hopefully the only thing that went to the birds were the cutworms.
