Ditto here. I'm down to a thin long-sleeve flannel shirt to keep my arms from getting scratched up. The clouds were slightly slow to clear, but once they did, digging a couple 3-4 ft. buckeye trees and 2 same ht. walnut trees out of gravely soil in planters (near a gravel driveway), and replanting them out on the east end of the property got, um, "warm". The dang squirrels just won't bury nuts where I want the trees! NWS says the low will be 66 deg. tonight - about as warm here as it was at noon. It's a great afternoon to get work in B4 the rain / storms predicted over the weekend, though. :-) Back to it...
Don't feel like I got much done but didn't start until noon. Still sore from the last two days anyway.
I had pulled all of my tunnel automation and irrigation stuff when winter came on because it was kind of rigged and for testing anyway. Put stuff back and made it more proper. Figured out how to wire things to keep as many components in the shed as possible instead of out in the tunnel.
Tried pulling weeds from bed 4 but they have a lot of root mass so I tarped it better to let it die and rot. Will be a good amendment that I don't have to add, just kill. Else I was going to end up losing 1 inch off the top. I tarped it with a rubber truck mat split down the middle. Those things kill stuff off way quicker than black plastic tarp. I think it makes better soil contact being heavy.
Figured out the 1 gpm pump from my 15 gallon tank sprayer won't do much more than the tank sprayer wand or what little bit of drip I had the last two years. Not surprising.
Tried watering-in bed 2, that I just forked and added manure to, with the garden hose and a twist to open sprayer and it wouldn't keep up too well. I've got a 2.0 RV pump that's kinda old but works better. I'll get another RV pump like I have for the house later on. Super quiet and 3.0 gpm.
Also found myself making several trips between the shed and tunnel for little odds and ends and tools so I need to set up a cabinet in the tunnel to keep stuff in. Wiring items, drip fittings and a handful of common tools, hand spade, pruning snips, lean and lower items etc.
