I hate the stuff, but otherwise I get really bad leg cramps in the heat.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, I wish I could send you the heat. It would have been nice to be 15 degrees colder.<br /><br />Ottawa Gardener, I wish my digging had been in the shade. That would have been so nice.<br /><br />Michelle, oh that would have been perfect. Luckily it has cooled down by now.<br /><br />our friend Ben, 100 ack. I actually faint in weather like that. I'm such a heat wimp. I have to confess. I have two air conditioners. The other gets put up in my bedroom. It rarely gets used (we have lots of windows and a whole house fan to cool it down), but for those few days I can't live without it, it is a god send. The kids move down to the basement on those nights.<br /><br />Dan, :> I'm a weird person. I like exercise, but I usually like it in hour long bites.<br /><br />Keewee, thanks. Luckily we rarely see those temps either.<br /><br />Sue, I love the early spring salads. They are just so exciting compared to the later ones. You really appreciate the first ones.<br /><br />Fullfreezer, I couldn't use a tiller. It would kill my shoulder. Weirdly hand digging doesn't do that it just makes it stronger. I hope you get your garden up soon.<br /><br />EG, I'm so glad we don't have any mosquitoes yet. It will happen and soon.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-34424266477352788842009-04-29T10:47:00.000-04:002009-04-29T10:47:00.000-04:00That double-digging is some hard work!

I have had a few radish thinnings, but they didn't have little radishes yet.

You really are working hard to dig then walk then dig again, I couldn't even do that. I'm more the take long breaks in the shade kind of person.

I'm just dying, and like you, I have exactly one small air conditioner (in my home office) but so far have resisted turning it on.

I'm freezing today, it's 44F, windy and raining. I dragged all my poor plants inside and I'm just going to leave them in until next week, when we are supposed to hit 70. They looked so good last week when it was warm, in the 80s...now they look pretty bad. I just hope they make it another week.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-52546797088984467242009-04-28T14:13:00.000-04:002009-04-28T14:13:00.000-04:00WOW!
