Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

77F and mostly sunny @ 12:00, heading up to around 82F for the day’s high.

Refilled hopper and both tube feeders first thing yesterday, also scattered some seeds for the ground feeders.

Two trips with the Cub and dump cart up to the cans at the road with garbage and recyclables.

More glyphosate spraying along west perimeter where arbs are going.

Refilled one glyphosate sprayer.

Replaced hanger tie that keeps breaking on the Japanese Beetle trap out front with a piece of aluminum wire.

Hauled down another two bucket loads of wood chips.

Got two more planting holes drilled with the PHD. One of them was an old hole that we had planted a Japanese yew in that later died ...

That last hole won't get used for an arb ... probably stick a Rose of Sharon or a Swamp Milkweed in it.

Dumped three shovelfuls of peat moss in each of the three planting holes.

Discovered a Guatemalan Blue that I had missed and got it tied up in a sling:

Have a Small Sugar pumpkin on the back trellis I need to get a sling on today.

Got the remaining two tomato plants in grow bags watered/fed and mulched one of them with straw after putting catch pans below them. The other one still needs topped off with soil before I mulch it with straw.

Then planted one of the remaining tomato plants on the back shelves into a grow bag I had partially filled with soil and got it watered in:

It was looking pretty sad ... but popped right back after a couple of hours.

Need to get the rest on the shelves watered today before they die of thirst and expire.

Found another three grow bags in the basement and brought those out.

Put another 10 gallons of water on that neglected spruce ... this time with Schultz's 20-20-20 fertilizer mixed in.

Got all the eggplant, bell peppers, and kohlrabi watered with 16oz of water each. Also hit the okra.

Ran soaker hose on all the indeterminate tomatoes on the straight trellis @ medium flow for 30 minutues.

Then ran soaker hose on pole beans and winter squash on west side of arched trellis @ the same while watching the bats.

Shut the hose off around 21:30 and came on inside.

Beyond the above I have a couple of bills I need to get scheduled for payment today.

Then continue on with the never-ending "laundry list" ...

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday ...

North Bay/Powassan trip done and dusted. An uneventful trip. Seen one cop doing the radar thing, but at 10 ovr thee limit he didn't even blink.Got the dope at the dope store that I ordered after hours on Saturday. I only ran out of one pill and as soon as I got home I took it. For all the good it'll do.
Grace Slick & Jefferson Airplane had the right idea.

made my run to town, got more deck clips, 4 more trex 8 footers, lunch at mission bbq, picked up pharmacy items.
When I got home, moved the AC material to the barn for now, so more barn tetris blocks added.

Got another batch of iced tea brewing.

Got plants on back shelves watered.

Woman requested wood chips be placed behind the screened compost I dumped up at the shop … so 3 bucket loads there.

(She didn’t want plant under the drip line or right next to the block)

Brought down a bucket of screened compost after that, got enough blended with peat moss to fill the last 3 grow bags.

Sun was out so I moved operations over to west side in the shade.

Stopped along the way and got the Small Sugar pumpkin placed in a sling.

Moved last 3 arbs over in the dump cart with the Cub from the patio.

Currently mixing up peat and screened compost to plant the first one.

Pleasant sitting in the shade with a nice breeze.

Thanks Dennis. About three feet away, Iphone nailed it, fun to watch hummingbirds and butterflies right out my kitchen window.

my repair job on the rv was barely ok, I need a second finish coat on the caulk.
but sure better than it was. This would have been so much easier if it was real wood.
This is plastic fluff covered in a thin vinyl wrap.
I caulked the floor area with clear silicone, so if ever another leak, shouldn't wick up the bottom
of the trim pieces, as it did last time.

need to let this harden, wipe with damp cloth, and do a finish coat.
had to get down on floor and so contorted had a hard time getting up again.
put some caulk in the door hinge holes and reinstalled the bathroom door, it fits nicely.
