While we froze our butts off in MI, the weather was 90-92° here. Today and the coming week temps will be in the 80's.
My garden was planted and covered with shade cloth before we left. Now I need to go check on it and be sure it's okay. I also have to find my holographic ribbons to tie in and around my tiny apple tree. There were quite a few apples starting, and I want to beat the birds to them. The netting didn't do it last year!
I'm hoping to see some progress with the tomatoes and strawberries, which are the only plants I put in. The rest are seeds, and I'm anxious to see what will sprout.
I have a raised bed garden, so weeds usually are not a big problem. I also want to buy a birdbath for the yard. Maybe the birds will be happy with the water rather than juicy plants? And, besides, I bought a solar birdbath fountain thingy, and we can have water spouting up from it. I didn't get the birdbath itself yet, because it was resin, which has a more limited lifespan in our heat. When the temps drop to the lower 80's after this week, we can get those blasted greenhouses removed and have a place for the birdbath. I'd like to get other plants that will grow in this caliche ground.
Plus, I have lower-branches to trim off my trees yet. That is early (!) morning work, so I have to plan it.
