Re: Garden Update!- more
Yes- I'm thinking I'll be able to leave it until the weekend at least.
I still have pruning and deadheading to do, so I'll give that priority
(easier and looks better faster). I also, of course, have about a
half-dozen projects I want to do..... I really want to replace the wood
slats on the large gate next to my veggie garden with lattice. I have
the lattice pieces, but not sure I should be sawing and nailing stuff
yet. We'll see how I feel on Saturday. Also- it is supposed to be 100
plus degrees this weekend, so I may be inside instead. I haven't been
as tolerant of temperature extremes as usual during this recovery
either. But, each day is a bit better. I lasted until 3 pm at work
yesterday- longest yet. I'm working at home today.
