For the first time in weeks, my bug bites didn't wake me up with itches. Mother Nature sometimes has a few tricks up her sleeve. It's not all bunnies and bluebirds.

It was lovely.
Glad your bug bites didn't bother you and I hope they heal soon.

Out for my walk in a bit. Couple of things to do.

Do companies really hire drivers that can't read addresses?
I had just got back from my walk and found a large parcel at my door delivered by Fed Ex. It is not mine. It belongs in a building the next street over. Took it down to my manager and she will deal with it.
Stupid person.
Anyways as I said back and in. Also this gave me a chance to meet the temporary manager as the real one is out on sick leave again.

All my transplants survived but one: a pepper plant whose roots were severely damaged. even then, it didn't die bc of root problems but bc some sort of pest at it up: It was a very small seedling.
Tomatoes, zucchini, and some peppers are already setting fruit. Pretty soon I won't have to buy any zucchini from the store. Watermelons have blossoms. The okra and muskmelons are still finding their roots, but I expect growth spurt by this time net week. My direct-sow beets are coming up too. And WEEDS everywhere I water. Need to get out the hoe and start hoeing. I have some unknown seeds sprouting - they're either sunflowers or borage (from last year's plants) If sunflowers, I'm going to let them grow bc they'll provide a little shade for the one patch where the sun beats down all day without getting in the way of anything at ground level.
Shifted from weed-whacking to digging, and dug up a half trash bin of succulents (green waste doesn't want succulents in their bins, I don't know why) and a half-bin of weeds and grasses. I'll be digging up most of the rock purslane bc it's overgrown but try and save some plants to put back down once soil is shifted to the other half of the yard.
This is rock purslane. Not my garden but a good representation. When it gets old it looks incredibly untidy.

Thanks but both our hopes didn't work. One of those mornings were getting anything started was rough. It happens.

I don't know WHAT happened, but I couldn't fall asleep until 5AM! So I took the time to do much-needed paperwork, which didn't go very smoothly bc I was too sleepy to do a good job. Well, better luck with tonight's sleep!
I DID pick the first three zucchini today. I think I can remove that from my shopping list for the foreseeable future.
Well, early day tomorrow. I'll need to water the garden before I leave so the veggies don't croak.
