Our 16 year old granddaughter decided that she wants to try a small garden in 4' x 6' planter boxes that they have. So I went with her to the Home Depot on a bright sunny day yesterday. WOW . . what a crowd they had at the Home Depot and they now have a much bigger variety of plants than I've ever seen. The last time I had a garden, I planted 10 tomato plants of each of 4 varieties. But now instead of 4 varieties, there must be at least a dozen or more.
Anyway, they went home for her to set out tomato plants, onions, carrots, broccoli, and more (her choices). I had already bought her a copy of The Old Farmer's Almanac from Tractor Supply Co.
I had planned to mow the yard today, but it's turned cooler (40 degrees this morning) with a 25 to 35 mph breeze, but supposed to go to a sunny 60 later today, so I may yet a little later today.
12:25 p.m., just finished, so I did decide to go ahead and mow in spite of the wind. 53 degrees and windy, but that's a lot better than summer heat. In fact, I mowed in a t-shirt and shorts.
