What did you do in the garden today?

So AFTER I planted 20 tomatoes today, the 10 day forecast changed yet AGAIN. A few hour stretches at 40 degrees shouldnt hurt them, right? I know it isn’t the greatest for growth, I just want to make sure I don’t have to cover them. It’s been 55-80 all week. Lowest high in the 10 days is 58 but otherwise high 60s-80s for highs.

40 and below is the concern, and that's only because of stunt and fungus. You should be fine.

Roto'd between the rows. Hoed and pulled by hand nearly all the rest of the weeds. Planted beans, peppers, cucumbers and several others i am too tired to remember.

Well cardoversion went ok but did not stay in rhythm . Day off no machinery ,driving or legal decisions . yard needs mowed again , garden needs tilled . Maybe tomorrow . Results from heart monitor shows in AFIB constantly heart rate from 50 to 144 plus at some point I had a small heart attack .

Scary news! Will you need a pacemaker?

Hello all, I got caught up! I was going through my email and I’ve been getting lots of them from Bountiful Baskets. It has been quite a while since I was involved in that, but I’m thinking of ordering again. The produce is whatever is in season and always an interesting mix, so I need to check out their website tomorrow. I’m in a holding pattern now, watering and waiting. Have a great Tuesday!

Ablation

Had to google this, just be well. Cardiac ablation uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart to block irregular electrical signals and restore a typical rythym.

Ablation on July 7 .

Hopefully that will help put you back in rhythm. So you have to take it easy til then?

I love this!

Afraid to try…I stopped mulching due to slugs…I can control the weeds much easier than the slugs. I’ve tried wood chips, dried leaves, and straw. I see very few slugs with a chopped lawn and no mulch.
