@NewBoots I think you might be able to get TSC to deliver. I don't know if you've checked it out or not, just throwing the idea around. 
$6.39 for fine pine shavings... 3-4 years ago it was $5 something. Hmm.
More stuff coming up in the "big" bed. More okra, more corn, more spaghetti squash! I don't know if all the spaghetti squash is up or not, but if every seed I planted comes up and produces I'll have a bumper crop potentially. Might get a bit crowded, but I'll see what I can do. May very well have vines strewn this way and that, lol.
I need to get some trellis set up for my sugar peas. I'm not wanting to put in anything that can't be moved, so need to think over how I want to do it. The landlady saved me a bit of old, bent up welded wire fence from a trash pile that was here when she bought the place. I'm going to upcycle that into a trellis. Upcycle... used to be known as using what you have at hand and making do. Wow, the world sure is a different place than it was 10-20 years ago even. I remember the common mentality being to make every bit of what you had work for you. Don't chuck this or that because you do xyz with it. Now it's all buy new, buy this, buy that, oh look at that custom whatchamacallit or that fancy doodad that only does one thing. Like kitchen gadgets
Sometimes I get videos on YT for dozens upon dozens of single use kitchen gadgets, 95% of which could be replaced by a good, sharp, chef's knife. It's mind boggling.
Sorry, got on a tangent there.
Got everything watered this morning, and stood there grinning like an idiot as I looked at my seedlings. All my spinach has bolted, so I'm about to rib it out and throw it to the chickens. I snapped off all the blooming stems from my kale, and I'm wondering does anybody have firsthand experience if the kale is still edible at that point or does the flavor become... blegh?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
