Al, the tag told you not to forget it.........
It's a dismal, misty morning here. I may actually catch up on indoor chores.
I pushed to get the last Glads and all but a handful of the last Dahlias in yesterday evening, ahead of the expected rain.
I had ordered some sweet potato slips from Park seed. They were scheduled to arrive in mid-May. After a couple of e-mails back & forth I told them to cancel the order a few days ago. I got the confirmation of the cancellation Thursday. The slips arrived Friday, all dried up and ready for the compost pile. I will plant them if there is a break in the weather only because I've had the plot ready for a month. They take 95 days with cold temp restrictions, so I can't just tag on some October weather to make up for the missed time.
Frustrating.
