As soon as I finish a cup of coffee and talk to you a bit, I’m going to try out the sprayer attachments my husband worked on yesterday. He said he just ran a bunch of water through one of them, but took the other one out to the shop to blow pressured air through it. He thinks they’ll work now, and I really hope he’s right.
The ‘garden project’ includes
- spraying the boxes with SEVEN to kill the rest of the fire ants
- spraying the boxes with KILLZALL to kill the roots of any remaining weeds
- spreading the weed barrier cloth in each box and holding it down with bricks
- spraying UNDER the boxes and around the perimeter of the garden with KILLZALL
- weed whacking the area in front of the garden, plus the area behind the shop/beside the garden
Our temperatures this week are supposed to be 100+ AND a heat index, so I’ll do what I can each morning before it gets lethally hot. We’re supposed to have a cool-down NEXT week, and I’m really looking forward to that!
Amber has been driving us nuts lately. Besides shedding a ton (more or less) of her hair on the floor and carpet each week, she managed to get onto the back porch without supervision and ate an entire bucketful of sunflower seeds meant for the bird feeders. She ‘gave it back’ to us on the foyer carpet at some point before I had decided I was really sleepy and would go to bed. I spent a half hour cleaning that up – gating her in the utility room – before heading up for bed. When my husband came up awhile later, he said HE had cleaned up where she had given MORE back in the kitchen. I don’t know how she got into the kitchen, but I expect my husband had something to do with that. Who knows what she’ll come up with next – if you’ll pardon the expression…
No big plans for today, other than gathering trash and working in the garden. (Be still, my heart).
Out to the garden now. I hope your Monday is a good one.
