The weekend was a success.

Transplanted 40 tomato plants and 40 pepper plants into the garden on Saturday. Also got some cucumber seed planted.

Then Saturday night it rained and hailed and the wind blew a lot. No damage at my place but the pond sure did take on a lot of water. I plugged the pump in early yesterday morning and let it run all night. That dropped the water level ~18”. With more rain in the forecast for tonight it’s liable to take a week to pump it out so I can get back to digging.

Spent most of the day yesterday working on the new deck. I got almost done laying the floor planks but I ran out of straight boards so I worked a bit on the railing. I guess it’s time to toss all of the warped stuff on the trailer and make a trip to Lowe’s.

The pond is really turning into an extended project due to the rain.

Good that you got the tomato, peppers and cukes planted. sounds like a nice garden.
