What a Day?

Carol did some weeding in the garden. She was gone a long time; I thought that she might have fell down. I went out.  Later we planted some more peaches and cream sweet corn, I planted some a couple of weeks ago. Some did not germinate. So, I dug a small hole and Carol put in some seeds and then I covered them. I stayed out longer watering them.

I went to Fillmore to have my laptop fixed.  I then stopped at Roper's to get a tap. I tried to install it in greenhouse five. The connecting part was put together wrong. I went home to fix it. I got it right, but it was too large and wouldn't fit.

Two of my neighbors fixed the garage door. When we shut the door, it wouldn't stay down. They worked on it a little while. It now stays down.
After we planted the corn, I watered it.
I found these watering strings in the shed.
A robin grabbed the end of this string and pulled it away. I wound it around this can.

Flowers/Vegetables

This morning we went to Fillmore. I had to have some blood work done. We went to the hospital where a nurse took some blood samples. We came home and a message on the phone was to go back to the hospital and they took one more sample. We stopped at the feed store and got a few more plants.

After lunch we took the household garbage to the dump. Later in the afternoon, we planted more flowers in the kidney and more vegetables in the garden.

The Fifth Sunday

 



After breakfast this morning we went to church. We were early for sacrament the meeting, The speakers were from a group young men and young women that graduated from seminary. They did a good job. Since it was the fifth Sunday there was no Sunday school. The bishopric conducted the meeting. The topic for the was the celebrating 250 yeas of the constitution.  There was video of two members of the quorum of twelve apostles. They spoke of it being inspired. I watered most of the plants in the garden,

The Kidney

 

After breakfast I went out to greenhouse five. I worked out there picking green arrow peas. some of them were pretty ripe. Carol shelled them, froze them and put them in the freezer.

We put all of the plants we bought at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. We planted them in the kidney.

Topaz & Irrigation

After I got up, I fed the cats and realized that I needed to make some old fashion oatmeal mush. I started to make some. I opened the fridge and there was a bowel of mush. We ate breakfast. Now I have three bowels of mush. I found an old garden hose that has been in the weeds for years. I cleaned it. I planted seven groups of topaz melon seeds in the north garden. We drove to Fillmore and filled the car with gas. Before we went home, we stopped at Roper's for some garden hose attachments. I got my weed eater and cut a lot of weeds by the tap; I hooked the hose to the tap and pot the other end on the row Topaz melons. The were soon watered. Carol made soup for lunch. I watered the baskets and tubs on the front porch. I found another hose that had several hose clamps that I salvaged. We had pizza for supper.

Payson

 

It was about eight when we left Holden for Payson. We had our Sunday close on because we did a session at the temple. The session room was nearly full. After the session was over we went to Walmart, Carol bought annual flowers. 

After we got home, I unloaded the beading plants.
A deer ate three plants that we planted yesterday. They even pulled them out of the ground. I covered most of the plants tree baskets.
This picture shows the tree baskets and the irrigation.  
More irrigation and tree cages to protect the tomato plant.

Wrong Size


This morning everything was pretty normal; I drove to Fillmore to get smaller hose connector. I didn't need one. I had put it together wrong. I got right. I was able put it the right way.

It is a clowdy day, but no rain.
I planted a row of peaches and cream sweet corn. Here it is being irrigated.
Memorial Day. The flag is posted in our front yard. 
Robert and Jeanne were here for Memorial Day. I fixed the leak in the drip waterer that waters the dahlias. I turned the on the water, I got a lot of Foxtel seeds in my socks. This evening I went out and cut down the weeds. Tonight I turned the water off.
