Congratulations, Dorothy! You made better use of your sleepless night than I did mine (I blame the caffeine in dark chocolate too close to bedtime). Another factor is that the room temperature is warmer and I'm figuring out how many covers are enough or too much. It finally dawned on me when I was doing the "vent knee" out from the covers to cool off.

Yesterday's tilling was pretty good, but I'll make another pass to clear a couple of deeper paths in each where I'll do my planting (no point in tilling to the edge of the bed because I don't usually plant that close to it.) I'm going to cobble together some robust tomato stands by wiring several tomato cages around each plant. I have a lot of them and don't want to go buy stuff for wire cages (the reinforcing mesh for concrete is what a lot of people use).

The track for the sliding glass door has once again been brushed out and WD-40ed to have it sliding freely again. I was to the point of having to put down whatever I was carrying to use both hands to open it. While I was at it I put graphite in a couple of the backyard gate padlocks.
