Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good morning. Overnight low of only 8.5C! High today of 17C, it's overcast and there was 2.1mm of rain in the gauge. Calm winds.

Well, it is the last week of Autumn here (we go by calendar month instead of solstice/equinox), so Winter will officially start on the 1st of June.

Mostly puttering around the house today plus it's time to take the garbage to the tip.

Take care all.

69F and clear @ 22:15, headed down to a low of 66F overnight. No showers materialized this afternoon ...

Filled hopper feeder first thing then watered seedlings.

After that I worked on repotting those squash, got the Strawberry Crown's and whatever the other ones were (either Buttercup or Waltham Butternut) in that tray done. Ten 4" square pots yielded 15 plants (in the circular pots in front):

​

There were still three 4" square pots (on the left in the rear in the above photo) that looked like they might do something ... so I left them be for now.

Immediately behind the ones I repotted are another ten 4" square pots which have Zucchini and Yellow Crookneck in them, they'll need the same repotting treatment, as some of them have more than one plant per pot. That will likely be on the menu for tomorrow ... but I will need to make up more potting soil first.

There's another five 4" square pots just to the right in the above photo with some more squash plants in there as well (either Buttercup or Waltham Butternut) Same deal with those as far as needing to repot, although I don't think they are quite as far along.

Probably going to need more pots ... lol.

After the repotting activities I switched over to mowing and got the west side and back all done. Just a little bit on the east side at the north end left to go.

Then it was on to mulching: got the hostas around the hawthorn and redbud done.

​

Then I worked on cultivating and mulching the rhubarb and blueberry plants, also fertilized 3 of the 4 blueberry plants. Forgot to grab a picture. Still have some left to go on that, hopefully finish it up tomorrow.

Overall, "Project Squash/Pumpkin Patch" is making some progress:

Just need to keep after them, as far as watering goes.

Pretty much whipped at this point, will sleep well tonight.

Hope everyone had a great Hump Day ...

Busy day. Dry enough to mow some lawn around the clothesline before the truck came to take my ZT for a service.
He turned around in the paddock and then picked it up and took it away. This afternoon he brought it back and went to turn around in the paddock again and only got about 20 ft and down it went to the axle. Quicksand strikes again. Lots of digging and blocking and towing with my tractor eventually got him out. Now I have a terrible mess to fix when it dries out.
I was sitting in my mancave when neighbour lady popped in to say hello. She spotted my pool table and said she would love a game. I told her another neighbour was coming tomorrow for a game so she asked if she could come too. SO, it looks like it will be game on in the morning. Haven't stopped today so now I am gonna sit down and have a cuppa. Didn't even have brekky or lunch. Not really hungry yet.
