I did finally make it through the entire thread, but I'm not sure of the timeline. About a week of daily misting to properly and fully cure, or longer? Leave to dry in shade for how long? Is Portland Cement the same as Quikrete? Sorry, but other than setting posts I'm a cement novice. I do like to get messy though!

If I was smart I would start now. We have been raining for 3 wks almost every day. No need to mist. Just saw the weather forecast and surprise surprise. Looks like I should be building a boat instead of planters because we are going to have rain every day the rest of this week and 7 dys down the road.

I have all the supplies, I just do not want to be out in the rain playing. When we get a break I hurry out and hop on the tractor and mow the lawn. I hardly have time to play in the garden.
