...Because i got some more seeds planted out.
Rutabaga, Laurentan
Beets, Egyptian
Green Bush Beans, Provider
I also got the 7 (of the10 that sprouted) Salsify (Sandwich Island mammoth ) seedlings planted out. There is a long gap between the green beans and the salsify and i was tempted to fill it with something else, but i have to wait until the Brussels sprouts seedlings either come up or not, if they don't then i will put in the Jacob's Cattle beans. They are a good green bean and a good dried bean so i could get a crop of either one or the other if i plant them in the next 2-3 weeks.
I lifted the cover on the melon row, and it was amazingly warm under there! I'd almost say it was hot... i hope not too hot. I didn't have much time to inspect the row cause i had to go in, my "babysitter" was about to go on strike.
The weather is so nice out today. A little 3mph breeze now and then, its about 75F...
Overnight lows forecast:
Tonight 52
Tomorrow 54
Tuesday 57

Nothing much
At about 9:30 this morning it was 62 degrees outside, under the hoops it is 74. It was very foggy out this morning. The humidity was 92 percent. It is supposed to warm, humid and overcast for much of the day today, which is good weather for having set out peppers and eggplants. Less chance of them drying out and the row covers keep in the warmth and humidity longer for a bonus.
Not sure what if any planting will happen today. Everyone else seems to not be feeling well again, which means i and the little one are the only ones awake. Even the cat and the dog are napping... the hamster too. The bird is awake though.... and the fish, last time i checked.
I have been up since 5:30am
Had to repair the electric fence this morning. Hubby broke a corner post with the lawnmower last night and didn't bother to tell me. I know he knew he did it cause the broken post had been shoved back in the ground but the wire was too low and was in the grass. The fence had also been shut off and not turned back on... so it was unarmed all night. I noticed the 'on' light wasn't blinking, so i looked and noticed. I had to push the post into a new spot and then pull the cotter pin out to raise the wire level higher and then twist it a bit to tighten it back up. I didn't have time to check under the covers to see if everything is still there.
I need to wash out some trays so i can start chitting some berry seeds.
