You've inspired me. I'm going to have another cup of coffee, change into a pair of white capris and a long sleeved t-shirt, and get back out there, even though I am really stiff from yesterday.

One thing I have to do today is replant some of the flowers on the deck. My dogs keep trying to eat the verbena, and in doing so, they keep pulling the entire plant(s) out of the containers. I'm going to have to move them.

My tomatoes look great after all the heat, sun, and rain we've gotten recently. I ordered more tomato cages, which arrived Friday. I'm very impressed with the quality. They should last for years.

I have butchered another lugustrum; now my Tom is digging the root out. Bwhahahahahaha! The catz and I planted more cilantro earlier, too. (Shorts, pink t-shirt. Same as yesterday, but they’ve been through the wash.)

Glad I could help! :)

It’s going to be in the mid-90s today, so I thought I would get it done and over with...it’s done! I pulled a few in the garden yesterday so it wasn’t as bad today. I worked the tomatoes the best I could. I wish I had a dollar for every tomato I saw out there! I also discovered a couple more cucumbers! I think the onions don’t have much longer. I need to do some research on when to dig them up because they are monster looking. I’m looking forward to making salsa when it’s all said and done. Whatever we don’t use or can, I’m taking over to the food bank—they’ve been asking for fresh produce from gardens.

By the time I was done outside, both me and the little guy (almost 3) were sweating pretty well. He gratefully accepted a cold cup of apple juice and some animal crackers, LOL.

Unfortunately, I need to haul a few things out to the shed, and it’s not getting any cooler out there! I have to go out and vote in the run-off elections today for state senate and the 3rd Congressional district.
