Turned Off

 

I turned the water off that had been running all night on the pine trees that are growing north of the north garden. I fed the cats. The mystery cat showed up this morning. We then had breakfast. I watered the baskets and tubs. I turned on the water in the dahlia garden. I also watered the potato vines and the grape vines that are growing in greenhouse five. Carol walked out to the north garden. She did some weeding and also picked two cucumbers. 

Something is eating chrysanthemums growing in a flower bed outside the bedroom window. We think that there are some earwigs eating the leaves. I put out an olive oil trap. There is a wire basket over the oil to keep the cats from drinking it.

Another picture.

I got this picture of a stink bug walking on the driveway. I kicked it before it could get on the grass. It landed upside down but quickly got back on its feet. The weather is hot. Richard called. He is feeling better.

I found another garden hose. It was missing the female end. I found one in the garage. I turned some water on two pine trees. The water is running slowly on the two trees. 

Carol made some zucchini bread. It was really good.

I sliced potatoes and then fried them. They were good.

I was looking for something by the shed. I drug out several pieces of CVD pipe that has been laying in the weeds for several years. 

Richard Called

 

This morning we drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. There is a lot of road construction going on. We waited for a long time to get next to a gas pomp. We then waited a long time to get back on the road. We then bought groceries at the market. Then home.

There are five pine trees north of our north garden that are suffering some because of the lack of water. I hooked op a hose and let the water trickle at the base of the tree.

The topaz melon plant is now growing branches. I watered it some this afternoon.

I picked a couple of zucchini plants. One is large. A neighbor also gave us some.

Richard called. He has covid. 

Payson Temple

 

We left Holden this morning headed to the Payson temple. After the session we went to Sam's club and bought a carload of groceries and paper products. We then drove to Linden. We had a nice visit with Carol's sister, Nyleen.

This is not a good picture because of the bright light coming through the window. Carol is on the left and Nyleen is on the right.

The sweet corn in our garden is starting to tassel.

Chores

 

I woke up usual time. I watered the tubs and baskets.

 

A Few Drops

I spent most the morning watering the plants in the garden.  We watched some of the morning TV shows.

I took some potato peelings to chickens. Their lay pellet container was empty. There even wasn't any dust. 

There is a pine tree that was suffering because no rain. I found an old garden hose. I hocked one end to the tap and the other end to the tree.

I watered the garden. Some rows were partially clogged with weeds and soil. It took a long time to get the water to the end of the row.

I had buttered sweet potatoes for lunch. Very good.

This plant might be a pumpkin. I watered most of the back lawn with a sprinkler. We had enough rain to wet the front sidewalk. I watered the grape vines and watered the potato plants.

Watered Potatoes

Everything as usual this morning.  As soon as breakfast was over, I started the morning chores.

I watered the plants in green house five. There are lots of grapes. It looks some are getting ripe. I ate two of the purple ones. They were a little bit ripe.

I got the soaker hose that was in the west end of greenhouse six. I took it to greenhouse two. It was long enough to go down west row of potatoes come back on the east row. I hooked it up to the tap and turned on the water. I couldn't any water soaking out. I went back to the house for a few minutes, I told Carol that it wasn't working. Said you need to water with the hose. I then used the soaker hose, I watered the east row and came back watering the west row.

We caught earwigs and tiny ants during the night.

This is a picture of the south end of the drip line. On the right end there is a one-inch tear.

This is a topaz melon I planted several weeks ago.

The topaz melon is doing well. It is covered to keep deer from eating it.

I didn't plant this. I think it is pumpkin or banana squash.

Hot Night

 

We had a good breakfast this morning. It was about ten when I left home for Fillmore. I was looking for the barbar shop. I drove past it, then turned around. I soon was in the chair having my hair cut.

I came home and took this selfie.
