Two hours in the heat, garden, and sometimes sun.

I don't know if  crawling around on my knees, getting up and down, shoveling and raking, and messing with dirt counts as exercise exactly, but I can do it and it does make me sweat.  Then again when the sun comes out full blast even a pig would be wishing he could sweat.  Hot!  I powdered the root type vegetables again, and will probably do that in two days again, then every third day until the holes go away/stop being made on the leaves.  I am sure watering washes it all off.  I ought to powder after watering, come to think of it.  It would have to be by flashlight but that shouldn't be a problem.

I trenched and weeded, aerated, and with some of the weaker plants I stacked dirt up higher on the stem.  I weeded generally a bit, and randomly where some weeds just caught my attention as I was moving about.  The spade doesn't really help.  The garden claw is the best at loosening the soil without moving the weeds so far that I might not find them.  Not bad, really.  I did take a ten minute break in there.  Two hours and one break are both records.  A short break at that.  I am hoping to put another two hours in, if maybe not in one go.  The garden isn't that big, either.  Perhaps 20'x40'?  Well, the half I am using this year.  And of that I am only, really, using about a quarter of that.  Still, the weeds are everywhere.  The closer you look the more you see.  Some of them are tiny.  All are easy to root out except the dandelions.  Those can be tricky, often with a root bulb deep down in, around a rock if they can get to it.  Right now I am simply trying to clear about a foot around the crop plants.  I may use the hoe, but more for the bigger plants that are in larger groups, assuming I can even keep up on my short term goal enough to get to them.

I'm loving having the clouds, when they will provide cover.  It seems like a 20 degree difference, or more.  If I keep this up I should be acclimated to summer heat enough to deal with BMan, in my opinion.  Of course, I am hoping to add to it with at least a weekly swim and more if the V.A. comes across and hiking/biking before long.  Yeah, time is short, but...  I do what I can as I am.  Can't do anything else.  Plus, this is the best shape I have been in to even think about doing things, naturally, since I became ill.  I'm simply amazed at what all I am doing.  And, tonight, I am putting a 50-60% chance of plumbing going forward.  Either the kitchen sink or the water and maybe electrical for the en suite.  There is even a 10% chance of both if I keep my wind and get some spit and attitude to go with it.  Something.

Stretch, pull, push, climb, lift, tow, haul, do.  It is what I was made to do.  Later.

While cooling off I kept digging on the blog.  I'm trying to put music and a few other categories together for easier reviewing.  Far from perfect, and there are a lot of posts to look through, straighten up, attempt to check the links while I am at it.  I can't check every link, and some links I find that are bad there is no way to fix.  Still...  I went back to December 31st of 2011.  I think the further I go back the easier it will be, as I write much more often and use music and videos far more frequently than when I began.  Still, that's a lot of blogging to go through.  It is about time to do that though.
