Today is a pretty day here. It’s cool right now, but I just read that we’re supposed to have a ‘record heat wave’ with temperatures at 100+ with added heat index between now and the start of ‘autumn’ on the 22nd. Arkansas has a wicked sense of humor.
I’ve decided that I’m going to hose down the now-empty garden boxes with SEVEN, first, to hopefully kill any leftover ants (I’m still healing from the stings/bites I got recently from the weeding and the harvesting of our sweet red onions) and then KILLZALL, second, to try to kill any leftover roots from the weeding I did. I’m hoping to cut and put the weed barrier cloth in the boxes, held down with bricks or rocks, to keep the boxes in as good a shape as possible over the fall and winter.
My to-do list on what I need to do outside is daunting, so I’m just concentrating on one area at a time so I don’t feel swamped. GARDEN— I’ll get the garden boxes under control, and then spray weed killer on the ground UNDER the boxes and around the perimeter of the garden fenced area, and then weed-whack the area AROUND the garden and behind the shop.
We have Lunch Bunch this morning. My friend Linda did well for a day, but now is having a rough time again. Her daughter is taking her back to the doctor today, so it will just be Kay and me, with assorted husbands, today. We’ll make a run for supplies afterwards.
Happy Friday, and even happier weekend!
