Man, it’s hot…

Well…yow, it’s hot out here at 87 degrees so that is going to keep me in here for the afternoon…and the humidity is almost 60% so I’m sweating just sitting here…I did get the rides in before 10 am today and the humidity was almost 80% when I went out at 7am…didn’t rain out here again last night when the forecast said an 80% chance and there isn’t any in the forecast so it will be 5 weeks without rain…the lawn is dying quickly now but that just means I won’t have to mow it for 10 days or so…going to start taking the garden out next week since the cherry tomatoes taste bitter and crappy so I’ll just bag them up and put them out Tuesday morning…I really do think I’m going to use 5 gallon buckets next year since there has to be something in the soil that is killing the plants and I’ll get bags of potting soil for them to grow in…don’t know what else to try…it looks like about 10 buckets should do it…two for regular tomatoes and two for cherry…two for beans, one for green peppers and one for Jalapenos…nope more than 10 since I need two for broccoli, one for cukes and one for peas…I may try to dig out part of the garden and fill it with potting soil just for something to do and then put in a little of everything I grow for a test plot…I guess I have the winter to decide…don’t want the containers to be too big so I can move them around…
