Same boring stuff, different day

treeskinFilling water tank again. Woo-hoo.
Am running a bit tired today, mostly being out in the heat the past two days, I think. And I overdid it yesterday--came home from work and planted four flats of stuff, plus pulling weeds to make spaces for that stuff, and watered it all in. Didn't get inside for my shower and sit-down until 8pm. (By the way, Byron, thanks again for keeping me company while I gardened. I appreciate it.) Anyhow...8 cannas, mostly red; a last flat of castor beans; a flat of potentilla; a little more basil; mixed snaps (can't turn those down, if she's just going to pitch them); 'Black Knight' peppers; a bunch of scented geraniums that just went in the ground; and some red-leafed drapy thing whose name I ought to remember, but can't. I think it's a Polygonum of some kind. Tropical, decorative, close enough.
By put in a full day with Robyn yesterday, so he didn't get much stuff from Albert. He's off to do that this morning, while it's cool. Albert's got today and tomorrow to get anything he wants or can sell out of this project, because the main demo contractor's schedule got moved up, and they're dozing it Monday. By came home with some nice old 1x8 pine boards, some very long (very long = 15'), that he wants to use as wainscotting in the new master bedroom. Also came home with some 4' lengths of 8x8 timbers....not entirely sure what they'll be used for, probably garden benches of some kind.* Timbers that size are just too useful to pitch, even short ones.
*And after last night's gardening & conversation, I've decided I need short benches, strategicly placed throughout the garden, so people can sit comfortably and be company for me while I work.
