4 o'clocks at 7:00 p.m.Well, there was hope in my gardens this Independence Day! Most years, this is the day I silently surrender to the sprinkler queen as summer temps "hit" and everything is growing and full of color.
After surveying the water-logged details of my plantings, I exhaled a sigh of relief. Perhaps since it is July in Oklahoma, the 90's and 100's must be here to stay very soon! :-) And I will actually use the new sprinkler heads I purchased in May.
Can I really be hoping for said temperatures?? Indeed.
Having gotten everything mulched before my trip, I had the pleasure of plucking up countless cotton plant seedlings! I cannot remember ever having this many!! The rain must have helped them along ... I love cottonseed hull mulch over certain gardens. It will not float and is easier worked into the ground for fabulous soil!
More clearing on our acreage; thus, more burning this afternoon. It was nice to be able to work outside. It was extremely humid, but the sunshine was such a blessing! Most of the debris from our pool-fill-in project is now cleared and burned. Yay!
I don't have a list of things to work on yet. Right now I am simply tending to the miscellaneous weeding and such.
