Pulled out more onions so I could work on a couple of zones for replanting (more onions and carrots). And I put some squash seeds in a mound that wasn't working out for something else. I hadn't planned to plant zucchini this year, but heard a great answer to the squash beetle killing the plants. Use a syringe and insert a dose of BT into the hollow stem once it gets big enough. That kills off the caterpillar that reams it out (usually after you've gotten one squash--then seemingly overnight it goes from being a healthy plant to being a wilted mess in the garden).
Indoor stuff tonight, after I pick up my son and walk the dogs. Gotta remember this is Sunday, so tomorrow is a work day. With school out, there are fewer day of the week markers around. ;)
