Today I harvested zucchini, pruned tomatoes, clipped up the tomatoes, watered the clover, played with the chickens, and used the hedge trimmer to cut the grass that was growing over the sprinklers.
My corn is starting to tassel! I can see the beginnings of the ear nodes now as well. Not as many ears as I would have hoped for but anything is better than nothing. I didn't give it enough nitrogen on the last feeding before VT phase.
I also put the cover back on the pool today, cleaned the chlorine generator plates for the pool, picked up dog doo in the yard, pruned the grape vines to feed the leaves to the chickens, smashed two black widows, cleaned up our decorative water fountain that was pretty much just a spiderweb tree. Got the fountain at Costco last year; its the one with the brass colored cups. PITA to clean, but DS and I made quick work of it. Helps that I've only ever used soft water in it.
I played guitar out on the patio for a little bit, went inside and oiled the fretboards on my electric guitar and dear sons electric guitar. Ordered the solar fly trap from Arbico Organics finally today. Been wanting to pull the trigger on that for months. Today is my birthday, so I finally pulled the trigger.
