We had a short cloudburst yesterday that broke the heatwave in Perth County, at least for today. What a relief.

The new garden bed is now in commission, with tarragon, parsley and lavender planted in it. At the same time, we filled in a large shallow hole Himself left in the lawn when he scraped up the clay spoil and re-seeded the entire scruffy area with grass. Yet another trip to Canadian Tire, this time for hose attachments and a lawn sprinkler, and this morning I actually watered the flipping lawn for the first time.

The first cherry tomatoes should be ready by Saturday. Including the cost of the pots in which they are growing, those will be the most expensive tomatoes ever cultivated in this neck of the woods.
