You're not tired of reading about my gardening yet? :)
Today in the garden, it was really freaking hot. And muggy. The weather prediction was for 30°C - I don't know what it actually ended up being.
We did an hour of weeding and mulching and cutting the front lawn grass and then gave up because of the heat for several hours. Went shopping - bouncing from air conditioned store to air conditioned store - but didn't buy much.
Came home and fixed the screen door. It's the first time in my life that I'd ever put a new screen in. Funny the things I'm learning as a (relatively) new home owner.
Puttered around the house gathering garbage for putting out tomorrow, and gave the cat's home room a thorough airing and cleaning. Ginger seemed to appreciate it.
And then it was finally cool enough to go back out into the gardens. I weeded and mulched and planted new annuals in the front garden while Neil weeded and mulched the front of the fence line garden. I only got half of my garden done while Neil completely finished his, but mine is bigger. :)
Watered bunches in all the gardens - I felt like I was baking, it had to be needed.
Oh! And the veggie garden actually is showing growth! Carrots and beans and peas and corn and garlic - oh my!
But I have to ask - does the dirt ever actually get out from under the fingernails?

Not only do I have dirt in my fingernails, I have it in my cuticles. I rub in cuticle oil and push them back. That seems to erase most of the dirt.
