Or should I say, only getting in a couple of five mile hikes a week in town up Mt Rubidoux.  The mild 500 foot elevation gain is not much.  As for some gains in elevation, I took a couple of pictures on April seventh and then again today.  The peas and beans are up to six feet.  The latest batch of peas is still about 18 inches and the few really hot days cooked them a bit.  Then there is the zucchini which is growing like crazy.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e-430x301.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-04-07 19.22.08e\" width=\"430\" height=\"301\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e-430x301.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e-150x105.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.08e-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e-430x322.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-05-25 19.19.40e\" width=\"430\" height=\"322\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e-430x322.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.19.40e-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also built a new garden box for the tomatoes.  Of course, the new garden box need to be added to the drip irrigation system.  That was about 30 feet of new underground sprinkler pipe and moving a couple of sprinklers 10 feet.  I water the tomatoes by hand about once a week.  The carrots, onions and lettuce get water on the regular drip system about every other day.  The tomatoes are doing a lot better this year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e-430x321.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-04-07 19.22.47e\" width=\"430\" height=\"321\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e-430x321.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-04-07-19.22.47e-400x299.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e-430x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-05-25 19.17.30e\" width=\"430\" height=\"341\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e-430x341.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e-1024x812.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-25-19.17.30e-400x317.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been busy gardening and not hiking this spring.
