85F and supposedly mostly cloudy @ 13:30 but it sure looked mighty sunny out there to me. That should be the high temp for the day but we will see. Low this morning was 54.4F.
Refilled hopper and both tube feeders yesterday, also scattered some seed for the ground feeders.
Meds did not get doled out yesterday so that will need done today.
Did get deer netting on the southern perimeter of the garden unhooked and pulled up where the grass had grown through it. Still need to gather that up today.
More work done on post holes, including a good amount with the digging bar. Slow progress though.
Measured the length of the 12" auger ... it's only 36" ... so that looks like it will be the maximum depth ... except maybe for the post holes on the east side which might be close to 48" ... if I back fill that area so that area is level with the rest of the garden. Not clear if or when that will happen.
Think I have a total of 12 post holes I'm currently working on, with at least 4 holes that are drilled to full depth.
Water Buffalo emptied and then refilled on slow flow.
I believe 8 holes got 2 gallons each yesterday and were left overnight to soak in.
There is some question as to the cutting edges on the 12" auger as to whether or not they are worn down which might be the reason some of the holes are so difficult to drill.
Will see how it goes today and if no improvement, a trip to TSC for replacement cutting edges might be in my future.
Picked some of the Honey Baby winter squash:
These need washed off then I think I'll put them in the little greenhouse in the dining room to finish curing since it gets pretty warm during the day.
There are still more out there, some of which haven't even started to ripen and are completely green.
Took garbage up to the cans at the road but not recyclables as the last task of the day.
This morning Amazon dropped a new set of small pruning scissors to replace the cheapo's The Woman picked up at Walmart. They are Fiskars ... so hopefully they will hold up a little better:
Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...
for quick relief.
