and you don't say anything about landslides or volcanoes going boom...

Landslides are in the Brightening Wet. I'm surprised they aren't listed but spider season is. Both are very much things.

Not worried about the volcanoes unless the one I'm sitting on the foot of starts bulging this way. The Cascadia Subduction Zone would cause more chaos.

Got the trays back in the hydroponics. Fishies survived the winter, so this will be the first full season test.

Last year I found that spinach does well in the cold ground, but not in cold water. Cilantro does better in cold water. Lettuce is about equal. So I'll plant lettuce, cilantro and arugula in the hydroponics. Spinach made it through the winter in the greenhouse.

I want to start breeding some of this stuff to thrive in full shade.

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
FB wants raised beds, so we decided to put in 4x12x2 foot raised beds in about 1/2 of 106 x 56 foot garden.

I thought I could catch a price break on eastern red cedar by getting a quote from a local sawmill on non-kiln dried rough cut lumber. Boy was I ever wrong 🤪 I think the guy might have fallen and bumped his head while he was figuring up my quote. Because it is lot more expensive than western red cedar from manards thats kiln-dried S4S (surfaced 4 sides) and ready to go. I didn't even reply to the guys email, I try and stay away from crazy greedy people 😅.

If I had 12 foot eastern red cedar logs, I could saw and mill the lumber myself, but I can't find any around here.

Here's what we are shooting for, seems more than doable...
