Happy Father's Day !
80F here with lots of blue sky and sun @ 11:30, heading up to around 87F for the day's high.
Got meds doled out first thing yesterday.
Then got cleaned up and headed over to friend's to deliver his loader bucket and 3 tomato plants. My 15" crescent wrench was not big enough for the gland nut on the hydraulic cylinders on his loader - he'll have to use a pipe wrench.
Picked up the 5 cattle panels and some of the shorter metal posts and poles.
Cattle panels were a PITA to load due to being a little bent up and still having some wire on them. They sure came off a lot easier than they went on ...
A couple need a little straightening here and there but still plenty serviceable. Very little rust on any of them.
Woman worked on weeding the flower bed while I was over dropping off and picking up.
After getting the panels unloaded once I got home, I decided to use the shade on the east side of the garage to get some more seeds planted in pots.
Mixed up some potting mix and planted the following:
5 Yellow Straighneck Summer Squash seeds
5 Zucchini Summer Squash seeds
5 Straight 8 Cucumber seeds
12 Dwarf Long Pod Okra seeds
Next up will be to get some winter squash started.
Once I had those labelled, I loaded them in the dump cart and took them around back and put them up on the shelves.
Stopped along the way to put out some seed for the ground feeders.
Ended up forgetting to water the seeds I had planted before I moved onto the next task of getting more cabbage and broccoli planted. Thankfully, The Woman came out later and got it done.
Worked most of the evening digging out holes and getting cabbage and broccoli planted and watered in.
The count is now up to 27 broccoli and 28 cabbage in the ground:
There less than 10 total left to go, will get those done at some point today ... probably when the area is in shade.
While I was doing that The Woman came out and got the seeds and the rest of the plants on the shelves watered as I mentioned, then we got the 2nd soaker hose unrolled and placed on the row of indeterminate tomatoes on the vertical trellis (pictured above)
We hadn't been using much water in house, so we did a little experiment and ran the soaker hose for 10 minutes ... then for another 5 minutes ... and again for another 10. Still had pressure ... so figure we can probably run it for 30 minutes at a shot if we haven't been using much water in the house.
After I finished planting I took the Kubota and loaded up all the t posts in the bucket and took them up to the shop so I can work on them in the AC when it gets hot in the next few days.
After that I ran the box blade over the driveway to smooth it up and fill in some pot holes.
Then called it a day and came on inside as it had really cooled off and was starting to get dark.
Placed an order for some bamboo stakes on Amazon to stake up the pepper plants.
As far as today's agenda goes:
Water plants/seeds on shelves.
(Re)water cabbage and broccoli that was recently planted.
Maybe mow the east side down here around the house which I never got to on this last round of mowing.
It's been a while since we've had any appreciable rain so the grass has really slowed down.
Maybe head over and pick up the rest of the fencing from friend depending on what he has going on.
See about getting some winter squash seeds planted in pots.
Get the rest of the cabbage and broccoli planted.
Plus whatever comes up.
Hope everyone is having a great Father's Day ...
