I can sure stand a few months of days like today: high in the low 70's, and not a cloud in the sky. It was just perfect for working in the new greenhouse area after our morning homeschool co-op group meeting. I'm keeping a sharp eye out for poison ivy, now that I'm mostly healed from a very bad rash on my right arm. The poison ivy plants I "painted" with RoundUp a few days ago have succumbed... but there are still a very few to be treated. Guess I'll have to get my bottle back out tomorrow. I'm anxious to finish cleaning out the second greenhouse area so that we can get it covered with plastic before the weather gets cold, which can happen very suddenly here. Saturday night was forecast to be one of those early frost nights, so I picked the few remaining green beans & cucumbers from the veggie garden. But evidently it didn't go below 40* that night, thank goodness. We're not forecast to have another such cold night for a week or more now.

AuthorI'm finally putting my college training of (several) years ago to work! I wanted a combined degree in horticulture and journalism so I could write about the plants I grew, and here I am! Archives
