We got another 3/10” rain yesterday. Forecast for the coming week is seasonable temps and no rain.
With a little good luck I might get the cages up around my tomato plants.
I got my basil starts transplanted into a raised bed in between rain showers yesterday evening.
I’ve got a bumper crop of baby crabgrass in the garden to get rid of and the house yard needs to be mowed again, but I need to hit the Kubota store today and pick up a new fuel pump for the mower before I can do that. Oh joy.
Nephew had a Basset Hound. Ridiculously stubborn is an understatement. That dog did what she wanted to do, when she wanted to do it, and she didn’t much care whether any human approved or not. She was an absolute Houdini - there was no leash/harness/chain combo that she couldn’t escape. He finally gave up trying. Turned out it wasn’t a problem when she was outdoors because she was too lazy to run off.
and by seasonable, you mean hot. I can’t complain though, last few years it hit 90s in May.
I did the Florida weave on my tomato plants yesterday. Not super impressed but it is pretty quick and keeps them out of the paths. They can still grow/lean into each other in the row to some degree. I don’t think they’ll be able to lean over and bend the stalk though and that’s the important thing.
Ah, pumping issues. Waterpump for my truck is supposed to be here today but shipping to rural MO has become less reliable and takes longer than it used to. Supposed to be Out for Delivery. I’m still not taking apart the truck until I have it in my hands, undamaged.
When my Basset, ‘Sophie’s Choice Rufus’ was a puppy I kept Rufus tied to a cinder block. Even though I had my small farm, it was on a pretty busy road and I sure didn’t want him getting smooshed!
It certainly slowed him down, which was good. Ha! Slowing down a Basset Hound? That’s rich!
I’ll send you a link to The Basset Races that they have at a conventional horse track in MN, I think? Coming up maybe as soon as this weekend. It’s adorable.
