Its a tough one out there today. Cel put up tomatoes this morning, then she mowed the 3 acres today, then went out and picked 3 more grocery bags full of Tomatoes from the garden, and weeded it, too. Somedays I prevail, but others she just plain puts me to shame. I mostly cleaned up a month worth of poop being left around here and there. The crawfish boiling equipment went up for the season. The beach stuff was consolidated and stored in the attic where it will be nearby. The crawfish may be over for the year, but the beach certainly isn't, if the BP oil doesn't ruin them all, that is.
I filled all of the gas cans, treated with Stabil in preparation for the hurricane season. Always good to have fuel on hand, as just before, during, and for a while after gas can be hard to come by. I keep 30 gallons in the shed. I'll fill up the boat tank as well, so that's another 24 gallons at hand. Oh, and another 2 - 1/2 gallons of 2 cycle for the chainsaw, blower, and tiller. While I am not likely to need a tiller after a hurricane, the chainsaw is a must as many limbs and sometimes trees are down that need to be cleaned up. Fortunately only once, during Hurricane Lily, did I have a tree come down on the house. It took out a third of the garage, the greenhouse, and tried it best to take down the back of the house, which fortunately it was unsuccessful at doing. Although it left several holes in the roof ruining floors, furniture, etc. Still, having seen the destruction hurricanes can do here in the coastal regions we felt fortunate.
Hey, I got off track. Back to the garden. Well, its too hot to even go look. I'll reserve that till the early even hours just before dark. I may even snap a picture or two.
