68F and sunny @ 12:15, supposedly heading up to a high of 76F for the day. Winds out of the NNW @ 5 to 10 mph.
Attic ventilator just kicked on.
Got some more tomato seedlings repotted last night, maybe 8 or so. Kind of cheated though: one peat pot had four seedlings growing in it so I just removed all of them, lock, stock, and barrel and put all four in a larger pot. Will let them grow/root further before I try anything else. Many of these seedlings (in the peat pots) are not deeply rooted ... probably because the soil dries out so fast.
Not sure what all I'll get into today.
Probably move the soil amendments off the bale of peat moss and get that opened up and put in the trash can. Maybe a little clean up in the garage as well.
Then add some peat moss to the latest batch of potting mix in the tote.
At that point I'll be ready to get the last 30 gladiolus bulbs tucked into their grow bag.
Squash and pumpkins will all need watered, along with the 4 bags of glads.
Hopper feeder probably needs refilled. I did notice that the orange half I put out yesterday made it through the night without being molested by the coons.
Relatively light winds would seem to indicate that it might be a good idea to refill the hand pump sprayer and try and to get a little spraying done. The perimeter of the northwest planting bed and around the peach tree on the east side in front are both candidate, along with the oak trees up along the road.
Once I get that peach tree sprayed screened compost can be added around it and some bulbs planted.
Need to tighten the clamp on the hose on the Water Buffalo, fill it, and check for leaks.
Grass down here around the house looks like it could stand to be mowed. Might save that for tomorrow though, when it will be warmer ...
Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Saturday ...
