Was 73.2F outside @ 22:00 which was cooler than in the house by a couple of degrees.
Hauled trash and recyclables up to the road after dinner.
Checked sparrow trap on way back down, picked up another one since the day before.
Removed the 2 dead ones and threw them in the dump cart then headed down to house and grabbed the compostables and took those up to the compost pile.
Once I got back I went over and got the Kubota from where I had parked it on the lawn on the west side.
Swapped out the Light Material Bucket for the Shrub Bucket and started digging up the large Japanese Yew on the southeast corner of the house.
Got the soil loosened up pretty good, will put the hose on it today and give it a good soaking which may help in getting it dug out.
Parked the Kubota after that and grabbed the Cub and drove it around and parked it in front of the garden to deter the deer.
Then worked on getting squash and cuke vines woven into the arched trellis until it was so dark I could no longer see.
Then came on inside.
Currently 69.6F and mostly cloudy @ 09:00, calling for a high of only 80F for the day … which is below average and should make it fairly pleasant. No doubt it should be the best day of the week.
Need to see if there’s a spot on the west side where I can dig a hole to transplant the large Japanese Yew.
Then get out the pole saw and trim it back severely so it has a better chance of surviving and is easier to handle.
Can remember planting all of them for Mom, along with the blueberry bushes and the Eastern Red Cedar … that was over 50 years ago …
Beyond that probably finish up watering/fertilizing stuff in the garden. At least the okra and the summer squash.
Other than that just see what else comes up.
Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday …
