[personal profile] flea
I donned my bug spray and attacked the garden this morning, early enough that it's hotter in the house than outside. Two houses down they ahve a tree that is very well-placed at this time of year and keeps much of our yard in shade until 7:30/8.
-weeded and mulched veg bed with cow manure. Unfortunately I should have bought 3x as much cow manure as I did. I always do this.
-beets are struggling and have suffered some from rabbits.
-carrots are flourishing and need to be thinned again, but I didn't do it today.
-pole beans are doing well and 3 feet high. A few have been amputated by rabbits but not many.
-zucchini gearing up to take over the world.
-tomatoes all flourishing, also basil
-eggplant seems a little feeble; I mulched it heartily.
-mesclun lettuces still have some life in them, though partly gone to seed.
-picked the last of the peas but did not pull the vines yet.
-have a few shoot of calla lily, one torenia is blooming, and he seocnd wave of lilies is in bud.
-rose is gone by, but clematis still flowering.
-Round-uped the poison ivy thoroughly. Happily it is far from "desirable plants" and pretty far from the garden bed, and it's sunny and not windy so we should be good.
-now watering.

Have headache, whether from water or caffeine deprivation I'm not sure. Which to apply?

Hot. Yuck.
