55F and cloudy @ 07:30, headed up to a high of around 81F or so today. Heard some light rain hitting the roof when I first got up but it's not expected to last.
Moved the seedlings out into the garage first thing yesterday, then moved them outside into the sun for about 10 - 20 minutes since it was fairly cool, then back into the shade for the rest of the day.
The zucchini and yellow crookneck squash in the starter trays were looking sad (droopy) so I gave them a little water and after a bit transplanted 12 yellow crookneck out of their two starter trays (they were in the pink ones) into 6" round pots. Was a good call, judging from the roots. Still have about that many left to do, but they're combination of yellow crookneck and zucchini.
After that I watered The Woman's dahlias.
Then I went around back and did some clean up there, still more to go today.
Took compostables from that up to add to the pile + one dead chipmunk from the trap in front to the burn pile. Missed the one in back - evidently a coon fished him out of the bucket in the night ... and left his half-chewed carcass by the basement door ...
Also weeded the day lilies which are still in pots and watered them and the asparagus.
Went around to put some blood meal on the Orienpet and Asiatic lily bed and discovered that someone had been munching on one of the Orienpet lilies and had torn a bunch of leaves off ...
Suspect it may be groundhogs, had seen the mother and one of her young ones out around the hopper feeder earlier. Scoped out their hole under the kitchen porch that I had been filling in and noticed that it looked like they had been digging it out again ...
Went into the garage and grabbed the one bucket of used cat litter and took it out and dumped it down the hole.
Have a couple of pounds of red cayenne pepper coming in from Amazon on Monday ...
Refilled hopper feeder which was empty. Orange half still on the feeder this morning.
Rearranged pepper plants so that they would get the afternoon sun.
Took a break around 18:00 to eat dinner, cleaned up the leftovers from our trip to Eadies.
After that I potted the 4 bare root "Fanal" Astilibe plants, to let them get a start before any critters start chewing on them.
Also did a little organizing and clean up in the garage.
Brought the little seedlings back into the house, watered them, and stuck them under the grow lights, also adjusted timer for 16 hours of light.
Last thing was to repot some tomato and eggplant seedlings into larger plastic pots from the peat pots.
Not sure about what all I'll get into today, still trying to come out of the fog ...
Hope everyone has a great Sunday ...
