Mother nature has some wicked timing, this Spring [View all]

The garden got tilled on Friday. My plan was to let it settle, finish the fence repair and then start the garden on Tuesday but I was exhausted from Sunday and Monday's Memorial Day activities. So Wednesday. Definitely Wednesday. The soil had baked from the heat that the best I could do was to put down the lawn scaping fabric. I had to use a rubber mallet to pound in some of the pins. Not a good sign. Then I gave it 2 really good soaks with the sprinkler.

So this morning, before the temps get too bad (it's headed into the 90's) I'll do my best to get things planted.

Of course, next week's weather is going to be perfect for outdoor work.
