Warm Weather Weekend

This weekend has had no rain with really clear skies. Saturday was breezy with low humidity and tho' the temps were high, it felt cool. Sunday is a different story. I walked out onto the porch around 8:30 this AM and melted down. The humidity was high and it was already miserable outside. I have been outside to water some plants and check on the seedlings that have not been planted out yet. The temp is in the low 90s but feels much higher due to the high humidity.

I have decided where I am going to place my greenhouse. I had hoped to place it in a wooded area beside our newly cleared backyard, but DH did not want it there at all. It would really have been a good place and a pretty place for it but he has something else in mind for that area of yard besides anything to do with my plants and gardens (too bad, since I am going to plant some hydrangeas, hosta and woodsey wildflowers there anyway). 

I am placing the greenhouse inside a privacy fenced area I used years ago as an exercise area for my show dogs. It surrounds a kennel building and three chain link runs. I have plans to turn the old building into a garden shed for myself and all area inside the enclosure will be shade garden and storage for empty pots and garden "stuff" I don't need in the gardens or the yards. In some ways it probably is best as I now will have more incentive to get busy on the project of cleaning that area. There is lots to clean in the enclosure relating to my dogs and just some junk that needs to be carried to the dump. I can work on it this summer since it's all shady with only very light dappled sun throughout the day. I still have way too much to do on the the front and back gardens to start anything else at the moment. Today I did take the weed sprayer of roundup inside the enclosure to spray some rather healthy areas of poison ivy. About half the area inside has some poison ivy growth. The rest of the area is basically clear and not overgrown, except for a few areas along the wooden privacy fence.
