Yeah, well, and some of it.

Always more, never fast enough, even so the day isn't finished and there is tomorrow.

I think what got me was spraying the weeds.  It wasn't even full sun, there seemed to be a minor haze.  I wasn't out long.  Even so I am guessing I got a sunburn.  Not enough of one... well... we'll see if it needs treatment.  Aloe vera.  I have the store stuff.  And, now, I also have the actual plant.  Did you know it could get a sunburn?  And, while only 72 F, that... to me... for now... is warm.  Actually that is hot.

The dishes were set up.  The laundry is going.  Every time I checked it wasn't ready.  I am absolutely certain it should be ready now.  I have cleared the dryer, but not yet folded those clothes.  I cooked, and ate some of it for lunch, more food.  The chicken will be make next, tomorrow most likely.

Bits of this and that, but not as much as I had hoped.  The sunburn and heat sort of slowed me down.  A bit of a break after the morning and then lunch.  I finally got out and watered all.  Everything seems to be doing good.  I'll have to watch the blueberry type bushes, some sort of choke weed is trying to move in.  Actually, I'll get out there, probably tomorrow, and truly clear that stuff out.  Then keep up on it from there.  The raspberry bushes, save one which seems to have been covered by some plastic, are doing well.  I think, think I say, that the weak one might still make it.  I'll just have to be more diligent.  But it does look like small leaves were coming in from lower on the line, from below the dirt really, but the leaves look like the other bushes, just tiny.  We'll see.

The asparagus?  I'm not seeing anything.  I may have fumbled that, but I won't give up until I see nothing for four to six weeks.  I will water them more often.  To that end I have unhooked the hose and have it back near that bed.  It's the only bed that might need water every few days.  I then watered the jerusalem artichokes, horseradish, and the rhubarb.  This time I dug down a bit to find the horseradish roots.  I did find them.  Perhaps I buried them too deep?  They all seemed to be send forth, but for how long as they have been in there, I'm not sure.  I covered them over, more loosely... a bit with soil, a bit with mulch.  The rhubarb plants were all, save one, doing really well.  I think cardboard and plastic had gotten plastered down on that one.  It also looks salvageable, but time will tell.

The only thing I might do differently is making an effort to water earlier or later, so the sun isn't on things.  I had to break through, and get things some water today, now, rather than wait another day.  So I just did it.  With a hefty wind going, I am hoping that will do.  With the hose ready, perhaps I'll be more inclined to just go, do.  Though, really, the only thing I really need to water more regularly is the asparagus, at least for now.  The rest could do with watering two to three times a week, or less.  Actually once or twice a week, depending how they are looking.  Asparagus, I would guess, could take two to three waterings a week, on the heavier side... twice a day if I'm not seeing any improvement.  Bleh.

I'm back at it, at least for today.  I'll... keep at it, I hope.  Good afternoon.  Later?
