I got the peonies planted this morning at 75° and it's about almost 95° now - ugh!!!!!! I'm MELTING.
So instead I am doing household chores indoors, cleaning here and there, baking, laundry and trying to hide from kid2 who is full of everything today. I am not successful on that front.
I did get my rhubarb picked, but have to dice and freeze yet. And the irises are ordered. The bed not figured out yet. As I said, I think I need more yard!
Kid1 has their succulent collection moved under the lights, I will condense all to one shelf and turn off the other lights which will be a help. I need to take my snake plants down for a while as well as, they aren't as prolific as they should be in the rooms that they are in currently. Therefore my basement will be prolific in Oxygen production for some time.
Thomas: Well, if I indeed get the 4+ inches of rain tomorrow, I will most definitely send it your way. I don't need that much rain, plus tomorrow is clinic day and that's a drive to get there and back over a lot of low lying areas, heck w/that much rain we get mudslides too. I think the only thing that may enjoy the rain are the hostas and hydrangea but only to a point. I have to get the rest of my plants out from the grow in the basement just the nasturtium is left. I will try to get outside tomorrow morn and get that planted. Until then, I look at the sunshine but just shake my head and say too hot not doing it. Besides I make a mean cookie and I sit here and eat it while doing my watch out the window. I forgot to ask if your Grandpa brought the seeds with him if he was an immigrant? I always wondered if mine did as they traveled here in the early 1900s. Can you imagine being on a boat for a week plus, with few clothes, a few family momentos and an envelope with some seeds? Or was your grandpa a farmer who grew his own unique tomatoes?
Jeanne: all ordered on the iris front. I went with a bunch of bright oranges! Sweet now, plan the bed and I'll be good.
Amanda: You should get hit w/the Cristobal heading my way today shouldn't you? How much rain are you to get? It's to hit a cool front by the time it gets up this far. Yippee.
I am off, time to go get more laundry switched and folded. Why is that worse then weeding? I have yet to figure that out.
