     Darel spent quite a bit of time in his chair at the greenhouse, pleasant temperature and no bugs.  I put in a long day so instead of the Creamery we shared a take out seafood platter at Countryside.

     I wasn't happy with my buttercup squash plants but i thought once in the ground they would do ok.  All they did was act as a magnet for squash beetles.  I'm wishing I had planted my for sale plants instead.  Yesterday we planted flowers for cutting where they had been.  I'll have lots of squash but not much buttercup.  

   I cleaned out a patch of mustard and nettles, the nettles are buried in the compost pile.  We planted some amaranth in that spot, we'll mulch it good with cardboard and hay to smother any nettles that try to regrow.  One more nettle patch to go.  No nettles came up in the display area this year.  We are slowly winning the burdock nettle war.

    I cut down the dried tulip tops and weeded the tulip bed,  I'll plant zinnias and dahlias there this afternoon.  I have a hair appointment this morning.

    We're getting enough rain so I can run soaker hoses all day.  The gardens will be ready for the stretch of haying weather coming up.

    Lots of mosquitos this morning, perfect for the fledgling swallows.  Their swoops through the air aren't as graceful and efficient as their parents. 

    Think positive thoughts and have a good day, Sally
