There Are No Wings Big Enough

Reading: I thought Sarah Rees Brennan's All Hail Chaos was a very satisfying followup to Long Live Evil, which is always a relief. One more to go! (The third book's title has been announced as Kill Your Darlings; I don't think a release date has been set yet?)

Someday I'll learn to properly make note of whether an ebook is a novella. Fonda Lee's Untethered Sky? A novella. Hopefully I got it on sale, given novella pricing in general, but I did really enjoy it.

Current read: To Ride a Rising Storm (Moniquill Blackgoose), just a few chapters in.

I also read The Vegetable Gardener's Bible (10th anniversary/2nd edition) up to the point where it starts going vegetable by vegetable, and then only read about the ones we're planting. (And I skipped the chapter on compost, because it's about making compost, and WOW do we not have space for that, even if we had the inclination.)

Watching: Another episode or two each of Justice in the Dark and Witch Hat Atelier.

Growing: scruloose got the planter assembled last weekend (IIRC) and we put a fair amount of soil in at the time (enough to keep it solidly in place, basically), but today we finally got out and finished filling it with the veggie-friendly soil and compost and actually planted the various lettuce and spinach seeds, leaving room for (we hope) a basil plant and a cabbage to go in. scruloose also got the frame for the planter's covers assembled and installed (the mesh cover is in place now).

We still haven't decided the ultimate fate of the disappointing Bloomerang lilac, but while we were out there scruloose gave it an aggressive pruning back so that it isn't taking up such a large proportion of our very limited space.

I just checked out the window, and as of 3:10 PM, the shade line is riiiiight at the edge of the planter and about to start creeping over it. (Any tomatoes we buy and the other type of cabbage will be going in pots on the other side of it, so hopefully will get at least a bit more sunlight each day.) I don't know yet what time that space starts getting direct sunlight in the morning.

ETA: By 3:40 PM, the planter is completely shaded, and the shade line is hitting the edge of the pot we had the Tiny Tim tomato in last year.

This is not a media-intake post, because my list of last week's media is upstairs on my computer and I'm on the sofa finally trying out the very small folding bluetooth keyboard I bought ages ago to maybe make typing on my phone a bit easier.

But hey, I live.
