The wind has FINALLY calmed down, so I will be playing outside the rest of the day and will report back in later!
As it usually happens, you think something will take a certain amount of time .... and it takes LONGER. Sigh. I spent 4 hours on the mower without any breaks; however, all of the place is now mowed ... every bit of it.
I got 2 of the 3 flower beds planted that I had on the ‘to do’ list & along with the mowing, that was a fairly large accomplishment. Rain tomorrow with warm(er) daily temps coming up, so maybe I’ll get some good germination & quick growth.
Today was the first day my tomatoes were outside (planted late yesterday) - I did not acclimate them because the weather has been pretty cool & windy so I kept them inside. They got through the night ok (we had a frost) with their bucket covers, but they got a bit sunburned today when I left the buckets off. It was a partly cloudy day so I thought they’d be ok, but some of the leaves are a bit pale. I hope it doesn’t set them back too much - I’ll have to be more careful & just expose them early morning & evening & extend the time gradually over the next week.
