Found my first of the season SVB attack. Injected BT. Watered some. Grass is starting to turn brown in spots. Cucumbers starting to bloom. Blackberries starting to turn.
I have 1 zuke plant and it is ready to bloom male flowers. 2 more plants are coming up. Backup plan. May be late enough to avoid SVB. I try several methods to avoid pests.
I needed a rest and only watered a bit. Bugs are getting bad. I had 2 ticks recently and the chiggers are bad. I wear chore boots outside to stop the chiggers. I got lazy and wore shoes outside and regretted it. The heat has slowed me up.
I used blood stop powder to slow the bleeding. Couldn't keep a band aid on because I was leaking blood. Used duct tape to keep the bandage on. Not that bad of a cut really.
40 + years ago a skunk would come at night to steal any dog food not eaten. Drove the dog crazy and sometimes sprayed to back the dog off. Windows open and skunk had to be dispatched so I could get a good nights sleep.
True story. I had a friend who used to be a neighbor before he moved to town. I used to tell him when I lived trapped coons that I released them in town near his house. I really did not. :gig
Not as hot today. Mowed and got the 2 cattle panels up for the cucumbers. Chance of rain after 5 pm. I am waiting for the clouds to do more outside. I think the rain will miss me.
Too hot and humid today. I dragged the cattle panel to the garden. I cut my finger the other day and I take a blood thinner. I bled really bad and DW wanted me to go to the ER. I said it looks worse than it is. Short times outside is all I can take today. Tomorrow should be better.
It was not as humid yesterday. Cooling trend for a couple of days 80s. I need to get the cattle panels up for the cucumbers to climb on. Winter squash is blooming but only 1 female so far. Pole beans are starting to climb.
