I really should be outside getting my yard work done before it gets too hot. May in Florida is when summer starts setting in and although the humidity is generally still not in the picture, we hit 90 degrees pretty early in the day.
I have some tomatoes I still have not potted. I’m not doing them any favors by leaving them in the containers they came in from the nursery. The same goes for the marigolds I have yet to plant. I was doing a huge landscaping project, installing landscaping fabric, mulching, re-designing the flower bed borders – all when I threw out my lower back. It looks like I am healthy enough to continue, but I have to admit my momentum is gone.
I’d really rather just take a book outside and sit on the patio furniture with a glass of iced mint tea. Nonetheless, we aren’t going to have fresh vegetables this summer if I don’t finish my gardening, and soon!
The apples, blueberries, patio tomatoes, blood oranges, navel oranges, and lemons are all doing well. They just need fish emulsion and water. The star fruit tree is dormant. All I really need to do is finish my tomatoes and I can justify grabbing that book and that glass of tea.
Oh, someone just kick me in the rear, please.
