Well, some of it.

.

It was dragging down to the wire.  I wasn't sure I would get anything done today.  But at about 16:00 I either started or started seriously considering work.  Whenever it was that I got to it, I turned off the water to the house and changed the valves in the bathroom.  It seems like that would be a really fast job.  It is and it isn't.  It does eat much more time than the thought would convey.  But... done.  Then I headed out to the garden.  I was working in shade from trees to the west, and it seemed cool enough.  Having the holes dug, I thought, would be enough of a push so that I could get through it all quickly.  And I dug enough holes, plus one.  But... nope.  I planted every plant I wanted in.  But it wore me right down.  I suppose kneeling and rising was the biggest thing.  There were 13 plants.  How lucky.

There is no way I could get the drip line worked and connected.  So I sprayed before I planted then on top of the mound after I was done.  That will have to do.  Two of the plants don't look like they will make it.  Two of the tomato plants looked a bit weak.  Well, I have done what I could.  Perhaps tomorrow I will get the drip irrigation going.  Who knows, but that is a minor goal.  If not I will simply water them with the hose again.

What else tomorrow?  A trip to town for vegetables and then making potato salad and cole slaw.  And a bit of cleaning around the house.  Ugh...  Still, I don't think the cookout will be bad.  And then I have the weekend to flit or sit as I need or want.  Yeah, that garden sort of cooks me.  Still, this is what I want to do.  I'll just have to toughen up. 

I'll light the grill and have hamburgers tonight.  Then take a shower as I ease toward sleep.  I best get a move on though, I'd like to be in bed by 23:00.  Didn't make it last night, but it remains the target.  Later.
