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.
