As there’s scarcely enough room to walk through there anymore, Will decided to make some shelves to go on the log wall to hold some of the bags and boxes that are now on the floor. What a good idea! He went down to the barn to scope out our stored lumber and came home with a pile of 2x4s to frame the shelves with. Luckily, with our sawmill and the lumber David has brought home throughout the past years, we have a darned good selection. So, we don’t have to go to Menards and spend a bunch.<\/p>\n

I just checked my two flats of habaneros and other hot peppers, but nothing is up yet. (This is why I planted them real early; these guys take a long time to come up!) I’m sorting through my hot peppers again, getting ready to plant the next wave of seeds, which are also kind of long season varieties I’m trialing this year. I plan on transplanting them, eventually, into larger pots, then even larger ones. Many will stay in the greenhouse over summer, so they get extra heat from the sun, without the cool nights we are famous for.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Even with our hoop houses, some longer season peppers need more heat that the greenhouse will provide.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m improving with the knee, gaining more flexibility in it. But the doctor wants more and gave me two weeks to get it there before “manipulating” it under anesthesia to rip\/stretch the scar tissue that keeps it tight. I’m not <\/em>looking forward to that so I really hope I can gain more without that having to happen! Yuck!<\/p>\n
