now i get to plant that area tomorrow
morning before it rains. i hope it rains...
We're hoping for rain too, one day the weather folk say rain tomorrow,
tomorrow they say next week. I think they're flipping a coin or guessing.

this fall i'll move some strawberry
transplants in there to fill it in and
to give the rest of the area even more
fun.

rain in the forecast for tomorrow and
the next few days, we'll see if it actually
arrives...

three other smaller patches to do yet,
but they won't take as much to do, but
as usual they will likely lead to me
finding yet more to do back there.
which is ok, it's the patch i really enjoy
doing stuff in the most because it started
from such a poor state.

when i was digging it up i was glad to
see the topsoil was doing much better and
was significantly darker down 8-10 inches.

i was also able to go through the whole
patch and pull the tops off the garlic
and that wasn't too bad. i have most of
it cleared out now. maybe by 2020 i'll
have it gone... hahahahaha...

Heat today was 98F until late afternoon, then a cool wind came through.
Picked a bunch of crowder peas at near sunset, wife picked a lot of
cherry tomatoes and other good stuff early morning. I put a new hasp on
the back gate. Somehow a 5'5" woman ripped the old steel hasp off with
her bare hands. Maybe I should be nicer to her. Nothing else going on
here but heat and more heat.
