Lawn and Garden Updates with Some Coffee

Sitting here sipping on some coffee as I type my words. Trying to recall events of the last week. It's getting harder it seems to recall short term memory. I hate it. But here we are.

We're anticipating rain the next couple of days. After all the rain we had a few days ago, you would think we wouldn't need any. Nope. We have a small drought going on. The ground just sucked up the last rainfall. It's already dried out and cracking. We've been watering the flowers and plants to compensate. The lawn just has to suffer. Not wasting water on it. Lawn isn't doing bad though. Turning a little brown. It'll survive.

Cherry tomatoes are fighting to live. They're still little sprouts. I've transplanted some of the larger ones to pots now. Need to get more potting soil and transplant the strawberries eventually. Not sure they're going to make it though. Working on them. Babying them. But it's all I can do right now.

Wife wants me to just give up on what I planted. Wants me to buy some plants at the store. Nope. Not giving up. These are my troubled tomatoes and strawberries. They made it through a terrible planting, thanks to me. Seeds floating everywhere. Containers falling apart. They survived several days of neglect. Again, that's on me. They did their part. Now I'm finally doing mine. I want them to succeed. I'm so invested in it now. It's almost emotional.

Crazy, eh?

On another note, our push mower started sputtering. Figured it needed a slight tuneup. Changed the spark plug. Changed the air filter. Went to check the fuel filter and found out it didn't have one. Nothing on the fuel line. Checked inside the tank. Nothing there either. I'm thinking the previous owner, my brother in law, did some maintenance on it in the past and removed it. From what I found online it's supposed to have an inline fuel filter. Researched the part number and ordered it last night. Should be here in a couple days.

Not much else to write about for now. Hope you all have a good week ahead.

Thanks for reading,
Joe
