“Tomorrow looks like a good ‘shop weather’ day.”

In Spring, that’s the best we can hope for!

I’m TRYING to get motivated to pot up my 32 tomato plants and get them into the greenhouse - with cover on below 40’s nights, of course. It was only a semi-sunny day and it was 84 in there. Fine Daytime Tomato Temps. ;)

Got to clear out space in the rack to start Zinnia and Basil plants. Then, all the Zukes and Cukes and soon after, Winter Squashes.

I’ve got Spinach up in a raised planter. Still, ‘making plans’ for all of the other beds - and I see I still have 8 tomato cages from LAST year that need to be pulled out and moved front and center.

It’s always something - but I LOVE Spring Outside Chores. Spring Cleaning, Inside? Not so much. ;)

Shop day! Sunny & around 60, but high wind warnings. There could be a hard freeze in low areas tonight.

I ended up being a little ‘pink’ last night with too much sun while mowing. That’s why I felt so ‘dry’, tired & warm last evening.

Quick trip to Walmart this morning for screw eyes & screw-in hooks so I can hang my carpenter bee trap. If I can find good pieces of scrap wood, I will make more.

Today, I will have to ‘bite the bullet’ & spend time organizing the shop because I have no room to work until I do!

I saw the bunny this morning for the first time - it was hanging around all last year. I also spotted a ground hog well away from the debris pile where they have burrows - it was close to where I am putting my herb garden. I guess I need to put the trap out.

I ran across this link to “Easy small garden ideas” ... some really good stuff to consider for my situation. The buckets are sort of like square foot gardening in the round.
