to do this week

[tielan]

1. Go for a short jog/walk (2km) every day to get fitness up. Whether or not I'm playing for Team 1 in the grand finals, I just need to up my fitness.

2. Plan the planting run for next weekend:
- basil, corianders, lettuces, mustards
- cucumbers, capsicums
- more root vegies - radishes, beetroot, spring onions, etc. (plant this week, maybe?)
- beans and peas aplenty

3. Chook House: ask the local area group for leftover building materials to scavenge: building frame wood (treated pine or hardwoods), corrugated iron (for walls or roofs), maybe some cement boards for the outside or wood of some kind. I actually have some wall insulation that I could use on the inside so that it's not too hot in summer or too cold in winter...

My sister wants a paved base, I'd prefer cement. She's against cement because of the high energy production content, but we have two bags of the stuff lying around right now, and a cement base would mean easy(ish) cleaning...

If you're doing the cleaning, you get the choice!

On the chook house topic, I've found even more fun stuff under the house! I also have a piece of heat-reducing roofing left over from the quail pen. Let me know if you want to come over and have a rummage together some time :D

I could maybe do Saturday morning? I'm presently tossing up whether to offer a "how to grow a vegie box" course to the neighbourhood: box, soil, seeds, maintenance.

I was thinking a Saturday morning (except that Saturday mornings are kind of busy) or maybe a weekday afternoon, so the families can just stop by on the way home?

Did you want to get things done by a specific date, or is it just one of those garden jobs that happens when it happens?

Hahaa, I'm going to the dentist this Saturday morning so I'll be out your way! Other than that I'm on leave from the 30th to the 6th for school holidays, so you could drop by on one of those afternoons if you can wait that long.

It's one of those ones that happens when it happens, although it would be good if it could happen before the middle of summer! :D

I'm not sure when we'll be getting the two extra EXTRA chooks. Or how much socialising they're going to need before we can put them all in the one coop.

Oh, I just realised - did you want feedback on that session timing? I think it's a lovely idea, and if I were in your neighbourhood I'd clear a Saturday morning for it, but a lot of people take kids to sport. Otherwise 4pm to 6pm on weekdays would reel me in, especially if there were a recording I could watch later.
