A little bit of this heat goes a long way. Here it is 8:30 and I’m pooped! Anyone nearby have a couch? I was out in my garden at work picking veggies in the sun. It was enough to set me back on my butt.
I’ve admitted this before, but I’ll say it again. I’m not a very knowledgeable gardener. There are loads of people who know more than I do.
I’m willing to do the research when necessary. That’s why I was prepared to talk about soil moisture today.
The good news is once planted gardens nearly grow themselves! Add water. Pull weeds. Voila! Veggies! I pulled a large basket’s worth this evening from my little plot and there’s plenty of growing season left.
I am privileged to have access to the shower down near the presses where the Hartford Courant is printed. We’ve got towels. The water pressure is high. Trust me, I take advantage.
I’m going to try and stay awake until the news ends at 11:35 and then the drive home… but I’m making no promises.
