Another weekend is almost over. I was able to get through a couple of projects this weekend. I’ll be sharing them with you later this week. At this moment I’m happy because there appears to be no rain in the forecast this week.

I have not been able to get anything done in my vegetable garden since June. It poured down rain the last Saturday in June as we were leaving out of town. More heavy rain occurred while we were gone. When I arrived back home the garden was underwater in spots. The puddles went away but more rain last week kept it too wet to work in. It is finally drying out.

Tomorrow I will take my garden back from those pesky weeds. The mulch helps so much. If it weren’t for the mulch I would have a mess! I also have other odd jobs out there as well. My cantaloupes need some fencing to keep them somewhat contained. The gourds will have to be checked to be sure they’re staying in their cages. The cucumbers will be needing that as well.

The only problem I have with the weeds is they’re getting tall. I don’t want to just dump them in the compost pile. I’ll take the time to shred them before I add them. This will speed their decomposition.

I’m sure I’ll find more to do as I get into it. But the more I find, the longer I can spend doing what I enjoy.

I’ll see you in the backyard!
