Wow. I’ve just come in from working in the yard for about an hour and I’m deciding that maybe I’m getting a bit long-in-the-tooth for this. I went out EARLY (for ME – 8:30) and the temperature is 82 with a ‘feel’s like’ of 92, with heat index in the 100’s for the rest of the weekend. It isn’t even officially ‘summer’ yet! (Officially, summer starts June 20th).
I did harvest the tomatoes above. I also weeded both tomato planters and then mixed up fertilizer with water for both. I sprayed the plants with EIGHT to try to protect the tomatoes from whoever is eating them. I went around the rest of the yard with the EIGHT.
I then mixed up a container of KillzAll. I’ll need to do a combination of weed whacking and spraying with the plant killer in order to make it easier for my husband to mow. He is an extremely stubborn man. He will continue mowing until the job is finished or die trying. THAT’S the part I’m worried about with his age, his attitude, and this heat. I got most of the areas in the back yard done before I was simply too hot to continue. I’m now in, resting, have turned on the a/c, and am drinking some ice water.
I’m planning to do one more session out there today to at least finish spraying the KillzAll, if not more. This humidity really gets to me quickly.
