More hard physical labor today. I spent a few more hours this morning scraping wallpaper and have completed the job. Now, I need to patch the plaster (two of the walls are 163 year old plaster and two are drywall) and then skim coat all of the walls prior to painting. We are turning our smaller guest bedroom into a walk in closet. It is the only room that has remained untouched since we bought the house 29 years ago.
After lunch, I up-potted the largest cabbages that I had started from seed in the kitchen and set them out for a few hours to cold harden. They'll get a few more hours each day until I put them in our community garden plot on April 1. The broccoli and kale will follow tomorrow. I also planted English peas in my small raised bed out behind the house, dug up the large irises and moved them to a sunnier spot on the other side of the house, then built an edge for the Siberian iris bed out of of pavers.
While I was working in the yard, I talked to my neighbor and was able to help her sign up for a COVID vaccine slot. All in all, a pretty full day. Time for dinner and a bit of the Scotch Ale I bought the other day.
