Hello, July.
A six month assessment of my 2026:
If I’m being honest, I need to give 2026 a mid-semester grade of D. Why? It’s not been a great year for me, and I am not happy. I hope those change soon.
I (perhaps) stupidly transplanted some bean plants yesterday morning. The soil in their pots was soaking wet, so I gave them just a little more water after transplanting. When I checked them at 4:30pm they looked all but dead. I gave them more water then, but am not sure they will make it. Lesson learned: when transplanting during oppressive heat, do so late in the afternoon to give the plants a chance to survive.
After finding the only sizable tomatoes in WLF with chunks removed, I’ve decided one of two things will happen for WLF in 2027:
– I will grow tomatoes in a fortified cage
– I will not grow tomatoes in WLF because all I’m doing is feeding critters
I’m going to need new underwear soon. I mean that alone knocks a letter grade off the year… 😀 Like everything else in this world, my favorite underwear is no longer made, so I have to find a suitable substitute. I am a boxer briefs man, who also likes fast drying fabrics since I am also a sweaty man. Wish me luck.
Wordle: four, my starter was FLORA
Walked to Glenwood Kroger this morning to buy onions and bell peppers (WLF Fail) for the pickled relish that I am going to make with cucumbers (WLF Success) that I harvested yesterday.
When I got to Kroger I realized that my fly was wide open. I walked past four people, not one mentioned my fly. Well, perhaps I can believe they were not looking at my crotch? 😀
Also, was forced to run sprinklers this morning to keep crops alive. 🙁
