A summer of theater and fireflies doesn't a bad thing.

I've considered how the yard would respond if I have someone else mow on occasion. I have to set it up with edges or barriers so that beds don't get mowed. One of the obstacles to an outside mower is the line of soaker hoses along the south side of the house (I know they're in place so mostly avoid hitting them). One of these days I should have a sprinkler system installed (and if I have the foundation worked on I'll have to have such a system to keep it within warranty - but put it in before or after?)

On the potting bench I have seeds started for several crops, so I'll get those beds ready. One has been tilled a couple of times and when they're tall enough the okra goes in and that bed becomes a jungle (okra can grow 8-10 feet tall and each plant can be 4-6 feet across). Other areas, like where the cucumber is planted, will have more careful attention and I need to put in things for them to climb.

Tonight, more in the house. It's the Saturday night PBS mysteries and dramas that keep me interested and I can work while I watch.
