We had a couple of bad weather days this last week and there are supposed to be a few more next week. So on this beautiful weekend, I will hose down the lemon tree and get it ready to bring inside before the bad weather. Everyone at the nursery and Ralph think that we should be good to go after that.

So I want to get ready for planting right after the bad days go away. I’ll do some weeding and prep some areas where the soil looks uninviting. Once the weather clears, I’ll plant out what I got at the nursery last weekend and throw some seeds out as well as start the hardening off process. To do that, I’ll need to clear off our little iron plant stand as I think it will make it easier to move the plants in and out at night.

I also need to start a new batch of seeds for the plant swap. I think I’m a bit behind on that but I’m out of room for seedlings in the house. I hope I have stuff to trade.

Before the weekend is over, we’ll have to make sure the gargoyles are protected for the bad weather and that the roses will be easy to cover.
