It’s 67 in my garden. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I started moving equipment from under the roofed deck into the storage room that engineer cleaned out a while ago. I say cleaned out but it was throwing away what wasn’t needed so there was plenty of stuff left in there. Anyway, I put large pieces of medical equipment that were in black bags in the storage room and finally got down to two items I can’t move, so the engineer will get that job.

That mess on that deck was driving me nuts. Now, engineer will have a fit that I didn’t wait for him but I had to made decisions about what to do with stuff and he couldn’t do that and now he just needs to move two things. One is a heavy duty aluminum ladder that is folded down into three pieces and that dude is heavy. Another is a heavy piece of equipment to load to move things but that is meant for a muscle man to use, not me.

Anyway, I had sworn an oath to myself that when it warmed up, I was attacking that stacked up stuff to give me room on that lower deck. When a hurricane comes through and power is out, that covered lower deck that is enclosed on three sides, is the “sitting room/dining room” and I could barely walk through it the way it was.

You know what - if you have a blank space you tend to fill it up and that’s what happened to that lower deck.

Johnny, I’ll clean out that long wood planter in the garden tomorrow and fill it with new potting soil mix and plant that long lettuce strip and squirrel/bird proof it. I also have more plants under the grow lamp to transplant into larger pots. Think I’ll wait until tomorrow to transplant those, too. Then, there are plants in the greenhouse that are ready to go in their permanent big pots.

My outside area is small, but there is enough work out there to keep someone busy every day. I don’t know how all of you with big gardens keep it together.
