It hit 96 today, and after spending time in the garden laying out my ingenious plan to spike one of those ribbon sprinklers on an angle so it would spray sideways into the garden, the darned connection at the beginning of the hose popped off. I don't think clamping it tight with pliers will work, it should have been pinched in some kind of machine. I don't remember where I bought it, this has a been a reserve sprinkler for a couple of years. I'll pick up another one and try again later. [sigh]

I've filled in a couple of more sweet potato vines on the wall and put one more small squash bedding plant in the new bed that I put a soaker hose in over the weekend. I'll see what happens there. I also pruned some shrubs to leave at the curb since it's bulky waste pickup in our neighborhood this week.

I'm finished outside for now, and I probably won't go out again till evening, to walk the dogs.
