Thanks for the link. I'll check her out. I AM always happy that I can find my way to the grocery store when I need to, LOL!

Last week I couldn't keep the tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse because it was falling below 50 degrees at night.

Today? And yesterday? 102 degrees in there! I've watered twice so far, and will again this evening. They ARE loving it, however. I have had a few losses of some flowers I re-potted, but I can get zinnia anywhere these days. ;)

I've also been battling wasps out there. They just LOVE to build in the eves of my greenhouse. NOPE!

And, OF COURSE, our skid steer is on the fritz. Beau just bought a $700 pump of some kind for it. It is currently in the neighbor's field where he was doing some mowing for him. Until THAT gets fixed, I can't get The Big Garden in, and my potatoes REALLY need to go in, so may have to sacrifice a raised bed or two for them this season.

It just goes to show ya:

I am going to try to get the tomatoes in now, soon as mom gets the golf cart! Definitely “warmed up” - getting downright humid! No showers in the immediate vicinity per radar.

I have been dissatisfied with my tomato cages the last couple of years. So I saw this & if I can find the panel(s) & figure out how to get them here (brother’s trailer would work), this is what I’m going to try. They’ll work for my pepper plants, too.
