More gardening than writing the last couple of days, as I've been taking advantage of yesterday's cooler weather following Wednesday night's storms and heavy rain. Got about an inch of water here, judging by various containers, so I didn't need to water yesterday or this morning. Instead, I finally got the corn bed prepared. It's a bit late to be planting sweet corn, but I grow it partly for ornament and as a privacy screen, and the warm weather should help it sprout faster. That leaves one more section - the squash bed - and then it will be maintenance e.g. watering, weeding...
I also spent a lot of yesterday and this morning doing some background reading on first millennium AD agricultural practices in Britain - always something more I need to check! Now it's time to write some more - another fill-in section, but this time a whole chapter. The outline for the rest of the
DS book is looking pretty solid at this point - my target is around 100,000 words, or just under 300 pages...
