Getting Outside Early

I’m going to head out almost immediately to take care of our tomato plants. The heat index for the foreseeable future will be in the 100’s or higher with little chance of rain, so it’s lethal to stay outside in the sun long.

Yesterday I finished weeding our trio of brick planters that run end-to-end between our front yard and our driveway. I’m making good progress on the weeding, but I’m having to be really careful not to get over-heated. I did convince my husband to wait to mow the back yard until around 5:00 yesterday afternoon, rather than when the sun was at its strongest.

Today I’m going to spray the tomato plants with EIGHT, since ‘someone’ is helping themselves to the tomatoes before I can bring them in. I’ll harvest any ripe tomatoes, weed, and water.

I’m not sure if I’ll get back out a second time to spray KILLZALL for the weeds and areas my husband can’t mow.

I’m going to scoot now. I hope you have a wonderful day, staying cool.
