Cloudy Monday Blues

Seems we are to have more rain today, but it is definitely cool outside with seedlings waiting to be planted out. I do have an hour before I have to leave for an appointment with cousin Mike to work on his contractor's license forms (Tn is out of date 06/11/09 and Ga around 07/16/09). Unfortunately I have to spend that hour looking for some paper work "he says I have".

I did sneak outside and plant my first vegetables in the garden this morning. I planted zucchini, squash and cucumber plants (all of which I grew from seeds). I planted one row of corn (peaches & cream), and there are four tomato plants to plant out this evening. I left the lower half of the garden bed for watermelon and cantaloupe DH has interest in putting out this year. I want to put some of Papaw Tarpley's tomato seeds into a container to see if I can get anything up and growing with those. Hope it isn't too late in the season to be growing them from seed. I am always behind with everything I do (not sure why, perhaps it may be because of doing TOO much or just being lazy and putting things off till the last minute, then the rush starts).

Only one of the three giant pumpkin seeds I have planted has come up. Hopefully the rest will soon. I am giving these to the next door neighbor for his children to watch grow, plus he has more gardening area for it to grow..........if it grows pumpkins to over 100 pounds.

7PM
I planted out the tomatoes this evening. DH brought home an eight pack of watermelon seedlings which I got into the ground for him. It was really cool outside tonight, like a sweater and sweatpants felt really great.

10PM
Off to bed so I can get an early start in the world of contractor license forms, then move right along to seedling planting out.
