It’s been a while since I’ve posted, because the gardening situation has been bleak.

First, we were hit with a ridiculous string of over 100 degree days, which usually doesn’t happen until August.

Then, we had rain. Lots and lots of rain. Daily rain.

Now, we’re back to hot again. Today’s heat advisory number was 105 degrees. The weather heads keep giving warnings about staying out of the sun, staying hydrated, and not overdoing it.

Unfortunately, since we had so much rain, the backyard was looking scary this morning. The grass was so tall, I was in danger of losing Weevil in it. So, I got up early, and got out there at 8AM to mow, weed whack, spray Roundup, and generally tidy things up. The yard looks bearable now.

I even started taking down the cinderblock beds this morning, and moving the dirt over to the new wood ones. I’m hoping to have another one filled this week—and I have the 500 pounds of assorted bagged dirt items in my truck to make it happen.
