54F and light rain @ 13:00, expected high today is only 57F ... that's quite the cool down from the weather we've been having ... 
High yesterday was 81.1F.
Big chill will be Friday night heading into Saturday morning when the low is expected to be 43F.
Just switched the furnace back over to heat.
First thing yesterday was to work on making up more potting mix.
Then potting more tomato plants to clear out the seedling tray of the larger ones so it wasn't quite as crowded.
Got another 15 done for a total of 29 (including previous day's efforts) of several different types. Then got those loaded into the dump cart and moved around back to the shelves, single shelving rack now full.
Still a bunch left to go though:
After that got the tube feeders refilled, also scattered some for the ground feeders. Collected up the two pieces of the broken plexiglass panel from the hopper feeder.
Think I have some plexiglass of the correct thickness to replace it, just need to locate it so I can scribe out the pattern and cut a replacement.
Then put the remesh panels back up on the sawhorses and got the other side sprayed with phosphoric acid. Those should now be good to go.
When that was done The Woman and I headed around back and She started collecting up the straw She had raked off the strawberries a while back, loading it into the dump cart. I did some string trimming and mowing around the garden area while She was doing that.
Then moved the straw over around the trellis where we'll use it for mulch around the tomatoes once they get planted.
With the straw relocated, we should be able to pull back the netting on the strawberries on the next nice day and get those cleaned out, weeded, and get the hoops and the netting put up. Looks like this coming Sunday will be the soonest that can happen.
After moving the straw I ran back up to the garage and collected the sprayer that was full of glyphosate and came back sprayed the eastern side of the garden where some new weeds were starting to pop up, plus the (unfinished) area that The Woman had been weeding. Also got some of the edge of the driveway done before I ran out of juice.
Hauled a dump cart load of weeds up to the compost pile and dumped that.
Called it a day at that point as I was getting hungry.
Not much on agenda for today.
Need to do some watering of the stuff remaining in the seed trays.
I also do have a doctor/meds appointment later.
Running low on some bird/critter food items so will probably place an order for those and run by and pick those up while I'm out and about.
Rhododendrons starting to bloom:
New flowers:
The end of another fine day:
Hope everyone is a having a decent Thursday ...
