Active Summary: After today’s beef pasture check, I did about an hour’s worth creative writing. This was ensued by a journey down to the farmer’s market where I procured the weekly vegetation and fruit before returning to Oldhouse to put it all away. Next, I ventured to the garden where I thinned the Sandwich Isle Salsify, transplanting it in the broccoli and kale rows as I did so. I finished off the (early) morning by plucking out some invading sprigs of grass and wild geraniums.
(6:27 PM Update:) This afternoon, I: finished my American History class’s last discussion post, helped Padre with a few cattle related activities, scaled the freezer room edifice with him and fixed the ridge cap, and then performed the late-day beef pasture check.
TIL: Today I learned that is best to transplant bare-root pecan trees during the winter after they have gone dormant. The same goes for container-planted pecan trees. Another fact I learned in regard to transplanting is that the roots must remain moist during their time out of the ground (and to keep that out-of-ground time as brief as possible). In other words, pre-dig the planting hole.
Commentary: Like yesterday, the weather started off a bit cool but ended up reaching the high 70s (low-to-mid 80s in the sun). On the same note of weather, the present morning coolness has positively affected all edible vegetation. I can see this in my own garden*, and I most certainly saw this at the Harbison Farmers’ Market. All of the produce was of exceptional quality, and because of my early-morning arrival, felt as if it had all been lightly refrigerated.
This verdurous basil was collected for some homemade pizza/pasta sauce. 
To repair this ridge-cap, Padre and I prepared a couple rivet holes, glued along the seam, and then utilized 1/8″ rivets to join the pieces of metal tightly together. Padre also beat in any nails that appeared to be loose. 
Me, climbing down from the farm’s freezer room / office building. 
And the garden continues to grow.
Final Note: Now that the ridge-cap has been sealed, I may set about rearranging the freezer room’s interior in preparation for painting. Also, if possible, I will borrow Madre’s pressure cleaner to remove the algae from the building’s wet side.
* When it was still warm, I found that some of the seedlings were being nibbled upon by insects. Now, however, there are no such signs.
