Tomato Update

The first day of summer was mostly clear and warm....mid-70's to 80. My weather station in the backyard registered 86 at 1:00 p.m.! I spaced out the tomatoes a little bit, as they are starting to thicken up. I hope the transplant doesn't affect them too much. Boone and Sadie keep a pretty good eye on them for me while I'm at work....

As you can see, the on-going "prep-work" is still on-going (background). I'm getting a pretty good sized pile of clean dirt, though. My "stimulus check" will be used for the shrubbery and whatever else I may need. That should come sometime in July.

As of this posting, it is 77 degrees at 11:00 a.m.

Good Day For Dirt

After about a week and a half of cloudy, rainy weather, I finally got back to my yard project. Today, I tilled the rest of the garden plot, about 3 times, down to about 4-5 inches. The tomatoes are doing great after much rain and lots of sun these past couple of days. Almost time to stake them up. I took a 3 day weekend, and it's been beautiful all three days! I've been trying to catch up on the other yard work (weeds, mowing, pressure washing) as well as taking advantage of the clear night skies for astronomy. Whew.
