Setting up plant lights on the tower garden

Thursday

I heard Chris leaving as my 7:30 alarm went off. So I waited till the 7:35 alarm, then got up. I did the usual morning things to start my day. I checked e-mail and made egg salad. I also brewed a half gallon of puer tea. I filled a bottle and took it to the chapel.

I stopped by the post office on the way home. I read e-mail. I dug up potatoes, but they were too small to keep. I planted one in the tower garden.

I ate half the fiber gel, then read outside in the sun. I came in and made breakfast. I ate while watching The Highwire. I paused it at 1:20 and went to inspection. Of course we passed. One of them asked what it was like to have my husband at home. I assured her that he was going to work every day.

When I got home, I moved hoses from my trunk to the shed. I went to the library for copies. Keli showed me her Dinovember display. She still needs a kiddie pool to put sand and little dinos in. I told her a had a large red tub.

When I got home, Eryne texted me about the swap shop. So I went to the swap shop to let her check for home school materials. She gave me stuff for the kite-making event.

When I got home, I put the weedwhacker attachment on my mower and mowed the sidewalk down along the next lot. However the battery was low so it didn't do a good job. I took it home and plugged in the battery.

I hunted down 5' and 2.5' pieces of PVC and a bag of joints. I constructed a PVC frame around the tower garden. I attached the grow lights and turned them on. It wasn't how I imagined it.

Chris came home to pack his suitcase and the car. He went to pick up Michele and John. He brought John over to give me the key to check on their cat. Then they left.

I sliced up squash and zucchini, and put it in the toaster oven with beef. After 20 minutes, I ate it for supper. I listened to Tucker as I pieced puzzles and read Telegram messages.

I looked up the two types of plant lights and when and how long to use them. I worked on my blog and made tea. I turned off the plant lights. I watched two episodes of Call the Midwife, then got ready for bed.
