August 21, 2007

The grading is DONE! Lovely cool weather continues, thank GOD! We got the rest of the grading done today, tomorrow some trench digging, then the chipped stone can go in and I'll order the dust and bricks. Ack!

Forecast is for dry weather through Thursday, chance of rain Friday and Saturday.

The flower beds are neglected. I haven't even peeked up front lately, beyond driving by and seeing everything sad and wilty. I should move the sprinkler up there, just to open up the soil for the rain we might get on the weekend.

Pumpkins are growing while you watch - big and fat. i hope the trenching doesn't bother them too much - if so, we may be carving green ones this year. Beans are still going great guns, tomatoes too. Have picked some jalapenos, no green peppers to speak of. Something's eating them, I think. I pulled out all the carrots, such as they were. Next year I won't bother. Once the patio's in, I'm going to seed more lettuce and spinach. The bed is empty, there's no reason not to.
