81F and sunny @ 13:30, calling for a high of 84F for the day.
Got 14 hosta starts/divisions planted and watered in yesterday. Really it was only a Baker's dozen, as the last was just a couple of small pieces I threw in the final hole.
Was slow going as the small, fine roots from the maples had moved up into the screened compost that was placed there a couple of years ago, looking for nutrients and moisture.
So the dirt I dug out from each planting had to have to roots removed so the dirt could be reused to fill in around the starts. Slow going ...
Took a break after finishing that up and came inside for dinner.
After that went back out and reloaded the sprayer with the new stink juice. It was starting to stink pretty good ... the crushed garlic really seems to give it an additional pungent kick.
By then it was dark so I pulled the Cub over to the planting bed and got everything sprayed using the lights on the Cub to illuminate the bed.
Need to swap out the shrub bucket today for the light material bucket and haul down some wood chips and get the area where the starts were planted mulched.
May dig out another clump of hosta before I do that though. The plants seem to survive pretty well after being dug out ... even if they don't get planted for quite some time.
Just dosed The Woman with the antibiotic drops. Asked Her if She was feeling any improvement. She said maybe a small amount, says She can occasionally hear certain sounds better. She doesn't seem to be coughing as much ...
These two came strolling through yesterday evening looking for some tasty morsels:
Apologies for the reflections in the image.
Hope everyone is having a decent Friday ...
