Howdy everyone. Bout to die of excessive heat. Man it’s hot.

My squash and zucchini got et up by snails. Overnight they destroyed the plants. I put out snail and slug bait this evening and picked the ones I could find. Bastards. If I can get them under control I will have time to replant. Just made a batch of salsa tonight using my homegrown peppers. Not as hot as I’d like but good and fresh. I planted some bare root day lilies and some gladiolus bulbs. One bulb is sprouting and the lilies look good. I also planted some caladium bulbs. I still have over 100 bulbs to plant but I can only tolerate that heat for short periods of time. I put about 15 small plants in the newest bed and so far they are doing good. A couple are Hosta and I really really like them. I ordered a few more varieties.

Ceiling repair is going good. Hopefully the worst of it will be done by tomorrow afternoon and I can start the gargantuan task of scrubbing the floors a few times. The painting won’t make a mess like the removal and texture have. Had I known what a messy job it was I may not have taken it on. It will look nice when finished.

I hear a few booms happening but so far not too bad. I was hoping it would rain tonight. Neither my dog nor cat are happy about the fireworks. It’s such a silly waste of money IMO.

Stay safe and healthy everyone.
