It would totally be nice if the weather actually got rid of these near freeze temps. Thursday night the low is to be 34°. Do I want to bring in all the flats and plants? No. I can keep them on the porch and covered and toasty I guess but who knows. I'm back and forth. The good news is the hut shelf is now empty so I can put the flats on that and roll it the laundry room and I should be able to get 12 flats on it if I went the narrow way if it indeed is 36" wide but I don't think it is. So maybe 8 flats. Will see what I do but that might be wiser I don't know. It's such a pain in the rump.
Speaking of, this whole aging thing stinks! I not only realize it with my mom and what she's going through but with my own self and to say in 40 years I can be doing the same thing. Ugh. I'd rather go to sleep one night before it all goes to hell and not wake up.
Anywho, that's where my mind is stuck right now. Aging! And caregiving from a distance. That type of crazy.
Making dinner and then once that's done have to help kid1 make a treat for school tomorrow. Then need to find the gumption to do the low hanging household fruit - dishes, laundry, cleaning etc. yuck.
Tomorrow it's to rain most of the day. Therefore, I think I'll plan to sew. I'll get that other dress done for Mother's Day (brunch) and then get my mom's quilt top done and maybe dropped off. That would be great!
Friday I'd love to start planting! I plan to do baskets first. But I also need to get the brackets in shape to hang so maybe Friday will be doing the planter cleaning: rust removal and repaint. Aaack. Always something from here that I forget I need to get done.
Seedlings still look good. Didn't notice that one of last years that didn't bloom is a dark leaf variety. However I'm wondering if it's my missing David Howard because the one I have labeled D Howard is not a dark leaf. Hahahaha. Wouldn't be the first time I mislabeled. But I didn't think I had the David Howard's by the seedlings at all at harvest - two opposite ends of the garden. Who knows anymore. With bloom I'll hope to have my answer.
But back to the original thought: I think I'll plan to just cover the darn plants w flannel sheets and hope for the best. Dang weather! The freeze can get the hell out!
