Dry

Even with all the watering I've been doing, some areas still have problems absorbing any moisture. Checked today after watering and the moisture had only soaked in to a depth of about an inch. Of course, that's also the part which dries fastest. So I soaked those areas really well this evening. I think the problem remains too much clay.

What really sucks is that I am a short distance from a river and closer to an aqueduct while my yard sits mere yards above an aquifer.

Surprisingly, most of the spinach plants which were growing inside are still alive. So I went ahead and planted them out tonight. They're not hardened off, so they may just burn up but soon they would outgrow the peat pots any way.

Transplanted a few more tomato plants to larger pots. Keep doing that as I have anything suitable. The ones in the larger pots have been accelerating. So I still have some backups if needed.

Down side to working this job is that I'm gone from home for over 12 hours a day. Then get home and still have cooking, dishes and laundry to do. Doesn't leave much down time.

Gotta get to bed soon.
