Finally back on

Like many others, been having problems logging on to Blogger for a few days. Even at the library today, entry got erased several times and never posted.

Got some things done today. Not as much as I wanted but can get more done in the morning, before daughter gets here.

She should be happy. Pool nearest the house opens tomorrow. Maybe we can go swimming and to the library.

Still problems with the soil in the north garden. Too much clay, locks moisture at the surface and evaporates quickly. Had to go to using the sprinkler and hypersaturating the soil. It's making a difference. Know once things really start growing, it should improve. I spread a couple of buckets of compost over that side today.

While planting in tomatoes, found I have a lot more earthworms than I had believed in the south garden. Figured it wouldn't hurt, so I started moving some a few at a time to the north garden. Maybe they'll take residence there and help condition the soil. Take a while, I know. Took two years to have a decent population in the south garden and even there it's not even.

Tried raising the height of the trellises this morning but ran out of netting after the first one. Rest will have to wait.

Lots of things getting to be a decent size now. Zinnia are over 3 ft tall. No flowers yet but soon. Some pea vines over 3 ft and growing daily. Lettuce heads getting pretty big, though a lot fewer than last year.

Heat already killed off the potato plants and lots of spinach bolted.

Hope this posts. Shower and bed time.
