This morning I did the blog for yesterday and did not get outside until after 8 am. It was already steaming hot outside, and today the sun was not obscured by any haze. It just baked down on me.
I could not bring myself to go out to the Ness farm. There is no where with air conditioning out there for me to cool down. Here at home, I would spend 30 minutes outside, and then 15 inside drinking ice water and cooling down.
All of the onion sets got yanked, and the rest of the garlic was pulled as well. It went on the rack with the garlic up against the breezeway. After that was done I weeded out all of those beds, turned them, raked them smooth and planted half with beets, and the other half with a fast maturing bushing green bean. It took me about 5 hours to get that much done, then it was a shower, changed clothes, and we went to a extended family pool party.
Wasted tired here. Need some down time I am not going to get for another week when we are finally up north. The next 5 days are all supposed to be as hot and miserable as the last two days if not worse. There is a lot I want to get done this week, but not sure just how much of it will get completed.
BEWARE vegetables and feorlws are mostly broad-leafed plants, and the product you mention is NOT going to know weeds from your garden plants. If it was applied to open soil it does absolutely nothing, as it must be applied to actively growing weeds.Now if it was a PRE-Emergent control that stops seed from sprouting if applied before they grow, it should have been applied after planting what you wanted, and I feel it should never be around food crops even if labeled as safe. There really is no good science to guarantee it is not going to hurt you later.If it was a weed killer either remove the top inch of soil to get it out, or add lots of organic amendments to soil and till it all very deep and mix it well. Unless it was over-applied (too much put on soil) that should safeguard your new plantings.Finally, tell the company that did this, that they should consult with you BEFORE doing any applications, and if you don’t trust their knowledge, find out at a local nursery or here before approving it better yet, get a company you can trust to know better.
