Sunday 20th May 2012

Weather:

~ Overcast, mid sixties. Saturday was the better day, although it was chilly last night. It now looks like it is about to rain and they are calling for passing showers this evening.

Plantings:

~ I put off transplanting my starts from Saturday to Sunday because it was supposed to be chilly last night. Transplanted zucchini(1), squash(1), tomatoes(2), pumpkins(4), cucumbers(2). Direct sowed lettuce and more radishes. I have held back some zucchini, squash and cucumber starts in case this group doesn’t make it.

Activities:

~ Nothing of note. I spent time working on this blog and doing some house work. I was supposed to start a week of vacation on Monday – but pushed it out until Friday.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

~ Jessy chewed up my watering can, took it right out from under my nose. I must have spent 10 minutes looking for it. As I walked back down to the house, I realized that one of the dogs must have gotten it. I made a mental note to go look for it later, when I got into the house Richard just told me Jessy got to it.
