Oh What A Day - Blackberry Winter

What a refreshing cool morning we have..........it's blackberry winter. I love this weather with that crisp coolness in the breeze, but it is not the best weather for plants to grow well so I won't wish for it all the time (tho' it is what I love.....I hate summer heat).

DH has a terrible problem this morning with gout (it started yesterday evening), and he can hardly put his weight on his foot. He called the Dr. for an appt. at 2:15 this evening. I know it must be painful. (Posted later: Dr. prescribed Indomethacin Cap 50mg for pain and inflammation).

I worked on my seedling beds in the back garden this evening and will start early in the morning. I must work faster on getting these beds complete before the really hot weather starts. When it starts, I'm inside except for early mornings and late evenings. One of my biggest problems is the uncertainty of where I should plant things. The perfectionist in me wants it right the first time, but I have to accept the fact that these plants I've never had in my gardens before may work or may not work where I put them. They can be moved later so................PLANT PLANT PLANT!!!

I planted out some of the styrofoam cups of zinnias into one of the medium black tubs (concrete mixing vinyl tub from Home Depot). I am a little concerned that these seedlings just aren't going to do well. Everyone on the WS forum swears this works but the seedlings seem to be very fragile to me. I have to be patient and realize other people are doing this with success.......so can I.
