Gardens

So many folks posting about innovative gardening. Next year will be a testing season for me. I have tires and I'm making towers and I'll try some Hydroponics as well. 
Getting some seeds now and buying other supplies while they are on sale.
Neem oil an DE and other goodies .
Mr Mike has been successful with straw bales so I will try that as well.

Hot

106 and rising. The temps have been a bit high. 
Mixed two bags of quick Crete today and did some more shelving work. 1 more ladder bracket to install then put some more things in their places.
Epoxy cured the crack in the plastic gas tank on the generator. Next trip to town  I buy a dozen of the Gorilla Epoxy.

Temp

Have been dealing with 100 plus for several days and at least 4 more after today. Difficult in a primitive setting, especially sleeping at night. Haveing a couple of tiny 12 volt fans to make the air move helps but I need to increase the number of fans.

Poisen Ivy/ oak and Sumac

They all hurt and can kill with the infections that occur . Having a supply of Dawn dish soap and witch hazel and vinegar can save lives. Early treatment is mandatory . If you can not identify these plants you may get in trouble.
