83F and sunny @ 12:00, heading up to a high of 90F for the day.
Did manage to get some Cat Grass planted yesterday.
Did not get any bird feeders filled, will do that today. Probably need to refresh the juice for the hummers while I'm at it. Once I get the hummer feeder brought in to refill, I'll take the shepards hook and stick out in the front yard with the Japanese beetle trap.
Emptied gas can that was in the van into the left tank of the Cub.
Yesterday ended up being another big watering day. First trip was peach and ginkgo trees, new and old plants up in front of shop, and hosta/coral bells in second circle. Second tank load was almost entirely hosta/coral bells in second circle ... so they got a very thorough watering ... which should last awhile even if we don't get any rain for a bit.
Used the screened compost that was left in the dump cart to form catch basins around some of the plants that hadn't been mulched yet and planted two more of the "mixed hosta" out there.
Also made a catch basin and watered a rhododendron in the northeast planting bed that was looking particularly droopy.
Moved more squash and pumpkin plants around back, collected up plants for delivery to relative and moved those to the front and watered them with the Schultz Tomato Food (which is good for other stuff besides tomatoes ...
)
Moved a good amount of shade/partial shade plants into the garage due to some critter digging at them, probably during the overnight hours. Think it might be 'coons but chipmunks can't be ruled out. These were mostly bare root items that I planted in pots to grow and harden off before planting elsewhere around the property. Was a big mess yesterday morning.
Placed small Menards order for some more 1 gallon pots and line for the new string trimmer. It's ready and could be picked up today if they are open (I think they are)
Will try to get the mulch that is on the rearmost pallet in the van unloaded and placed so that I can pick up the 20 bags they still owe us while we're down there. Think there is only around 6 bags left on that pallet.
Did some rearranging and watering of flowers out front.
Other items on agenda for today:
Get aquarium planter stand moved in front of kitchen window and pots loaded.
Get more bare root items potted.
Mix up more glyphosate and spray.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Hope everyone has a Joyous 4th ...
