As usual, heading to the farm today. Unlike last weekend, no prep for an impending hurricane. I do need to check on things of course. "J" from 2nd Family said that it barely rained out there Mon/Tues and since then nothing, but she said the wind gusts were pretty strong. I need to make sure trees are OK and that the cardboard stayed on the raised beds.
If I'm lucky, no mowing. Of course, even if it looks like I could, I may just put it off because next weekend, we may get our first cool weather of the Fall! We shall see.
Until then, today it's supposed to get up to 90.
I'm stopping on the way out to get wasp spray (they are taking over the porch), trimmer line for the weedeater (to get ready for the cool weather), and some bags of soil to start getting the garden beds ready for planting garlic (under the cardboard coverings).
If it's oppressively hot, I may also just water and come back into town. Then I'll be saving my energy and time for next weekend and what is shaping up to be a perfect weather event (for us anyway, ha).
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
Sounds like you have a full day ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteHave an enjoyable day and a wonderful evening and weekend as well.
Wasps nests you want to spray early in the morning before they become active if possible.
I had to spray a couple nests myself early this morning.
Thank you, it was good, hot, but good. Yep, I had heard that about wasps. They are building nests all over, ugh.
DeleteI would definitely wait until cooler weather for mowing. Wasps return to their nests late in the day, so if you don't get them while on the nest, they will just wait and build another nest. I hate wasps.
ReplyDeleteYes, and cooler weather is apparently coming, at least according to the weather people, ha. Wasps are mean little creatures, ha. Thanks for the tip, I waited as long as I could.
DeleteHow far is your farm from where you live in the city?
ReplyDeleteIt's about 50 miles away. Mostly all freeway driven so that helps, haha.
DeleteGood thinking to wait until next weekend when cooler weather comes in.
ReplyDeleteYep, supposed to be nice according to the forecasts. We can't wait.
DeleteHave a wonderful week. 💕
ReplyDeleteThank you for that, and of course same to you!!
DeleteI hope all was well at the farm. Cooler weather? I'm starting to forget what that is. It's so humid here that it's miserable.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Humid and miserable still here too. They SAY big changes next weekend, we'll see. I had to cut yesterday short because it was still just too dang hot.
