Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.
Planted cauliflower and cilantro seeds out back the other day. Transplanted some of our broccoli plants outdoors. California poppies planted by Haru's shower drain. Hiacynth beans and morning glories planted. Plum and nectarine leafing out nicely with a few leaves on the pears. Peaches we got from Haru leafing out as well. Leaving our starts (except tomatoes) out all night now. Getting hot during the day.
Started adobe wall on the other side of the driveway last week. Daffodils up and flowering in both front and back yard. New tiny greens and peas up in the back yard. No sign of Johnny Jump Ups in front beds yet. Last couple of nights have been in the low 40s. Putting starts out during the day to harden off. Tomatos and broccoli about 3 inches tall.
