Just picked more snow peas and lettuce, transplanted some zucchini plants that had germinated well in one hill but not so many in the other hills. There's still 8 plants, which is plenty for 2 people, watered them, then hauled 4 buckets of mulch to the tomato bed (13 plants). I use an empty 5 gal. spackle bucket to do my mulch hauling with. Same mantra as yesterday - maybe in the next house, I can afford one of those ergonomic garden haulers!

Weeded some of the gravel paths, despite it having that weed-stop layer beneath the gravel, and hauled 5 or is it 6? sections of hosing back across the lawn, so hubby can mow after he returns from grocery shopping.

All in an hour - not terrible.

Will unpack the groceries, as soon as he gets in, then a shower, then to that cloche, which *didn't* get finished last night!

I have photos somewhere of the wild turkeys I gotta dig out, when I get a chance and post it. Last year, or maybe it was the year before, there were 2 families of turkeys that, nearly every day, wandered through the lawns and into the woods - 1 mama and a dozen babes each. One group of young was slightly older than the other. Maybe the moms were sisters? This year there's just one mom and about 5 young. Yesterday the deer came out into the open 3x - that's a record. You don't often see them in the lawns that often in one day.
