Hello,
These are days of gardening in the
very early morning or in the evening, hoping for some cooler temperatures. The morning
has worked out better for our community garden helpers as it is much cooler
then. However one woman does not go to bed very early and she cannot come at
6:00 am. Consequently we have had some meeting times in the morning and some in
the evening. We are putting newspapers and wood much on the garden, trusting
that will then require much less weeding. We have not had a good rain for some
time so watering is also crucial.
For some reason our home garden has
not really gotten much planted in it. I am just now really noticing that. We
will start to think about planting with an eye to a fall harvest.
We did finally buy some marigolds to
put in there. Someone had donated many harvested marigold seed. They have not produced
any. That could be because the seed was not stored well, too old, or maybe
because the weather has not been good for germination. At any rate we bought
some started marigold plants today.
Leroy also bought a shirt that said
sun protection on the label. It was 70% off. At home, I did look up the company
and learned that it should have a UP number of 30 to 50, however the label just
said sun protection. Since it is a light color it is probably the smaller
number, but should be a help.
