Or dependent on others: both vehicles are out of service temporarily.
My truck has been stuck in the shop since last Tuesday. This is the second long holiday weekend that has screwed with us, the last one being Christmas or New Year’s or some such Monday holiday around the time of the water apocalypse at Edgewater.
Ron has a flat and since it was pouring yesterday – we had well over 1/2 an inch – he wasn’t able to switch it out with the “donut”.
I’d planned to pick up tomatoes from Featherlight Farm yesterday. It would have been unrealistic to do it today, Sunday, because they were closing at 11 and it’s unlikely the van would be driveable that early.
Peter was nice enough to drive me to Woods Hole and I’m glad: one of the tomatoes is already ungainly, and I wouldn’t have wanted to wait another week to plant it, too difficult to keep the stalk from breaking.
P&B have hired a trash collection company, so we’ve made our last run for them. They were packed on Wednesday, it’d been two weeks. We had to use the van, but it worked out fine, double-bagged trash and sorted the recyclables before we left.
I’ve been transplanting daylilies from the deck and the driveway garden to the corner garden. Planted dill in the herb garden and bacopa in the hangar with the petunia flats from Roche.
A couple of days ago, I sprayed the roses and the red maple.
The zuke seedlings are up and possibly some surprises from the old seeds that I’d planted a while back: at least the leaves look quite different.
