Daily watering is going on. Transplanted the parsley seedlings to small self watering window boxes last evening. The boxes will sit on the ground on the driveway. Away from chipmunks. Hopefully. Or I will put them on the front porch. Not the back deck as they have decided to set up housekeeping under the deck.
I watered the porch plants with the hose today instead of hauling water in orange juice jugs. I like watering with the jugs as I can just quickly pick up a full jug and get water to the plant. Quickly. Done. Getting the hose out etc--last year when I did that I tended to water everything and most got over watered. With the jugs--I tend to give water only where needed. And I get exercise walking them in to the sink and back out.
Need to plant my green bean seeds today. After the watering is finished. AC is back on. And "hopefully" one of us takes packages to the post office today!!!!
G asked for supper late yesterday and I threw together a pizza. I had everything needed. It was good enough. He enjoyed it and has leftovers for today. Wants more of the marinaded beef. So I will mix up the marinade and tuck the beef cubes into it in a bag and then start with the vacuum. I can see the dust bunnies gathering and growing along the baseboards. Riley's hair.
Need another box of mushrooms for the future kabobs.
I got a package of these green plastic bags for "better produce storage" at Goodwill. Months ago. Now I want more as, guess what?, they actually work. Produce stays in very good condition for longer than usual. Which in my case, is good, since I am never sure what days my husband will want to eat. It's been that way since the heart surgery. Strange sort of eating disorder.
Sewing machine photo because the other "must do" is to get sewing on the baby quilt. I got it all planned out in my head last night. That's the hardest part of making something. The sewing will all be long seams. No 2 inch blocks. Nine sections. Done and ready to back and quilt.

do you always plant your green beans this "late"?
I think of green beans as a Fall Vegetable. So yes, I get everything into the garden and if there is space and if I remember-now is when I would plant the green bean seeds. Every 7 to 14 days until 80 days before first frost--which is a week or so either way of Halloween. I do cover my beds with row cover in mid October (overnight) and that gives my peppers and tomatoes an extra week or two because daytime temps and sun are still nice and warm.
I just set my onions and leeks into one of the beds. About four days ago. They get pulled in early September.
I won't have any ripe peppers or zucchini or tomatoes until very late in August and into September. It's Maine.
I really hope to see a picture of the baby quilt.
