The Garden Gods Might Hate Me

Of course, The Universe waited until I'd transplanted my tiny, fragile, warm-soil loving heirloom tomato seedlings and put them outside to turn the climate cool, cool and cooler. Then it rained. Now, on the face of it, rain is good. But it was followed by The Day Without Sunlight, so no warmth.

What's a nervous novice vegetable gardener to do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. They seem to be doing fine. *shrug*

UPDATE (I've been holding on to this one for a few days, it's now the 19th. Anyway. . .): It seems to be getting colder each day and without real sunlight it's pretty cool/cold during the days too. I want to put all my vegetable plants into the summer house to be warmer, but the reality is that they have been outside for quite a while and are acclimated, I guess.

In other news, I won't be posting any news for a few days. Just a little stomach upset (as the parents would say), I think. MD appt tomorrow morning. I haven't eaten for 3 days. It's Miso Soup & Brown Rice time tonight. *sigh* And with the weather cool-down & rain, I'm not spending much time outside anyway.

This vexes me a bit because I had wanted to clean up the flower beds some more, not just weeding but just removing some stuff.

Also, I wanted to weed, prepare and plant a plot JW is lending me in the back for the carrots, fennel and celeriac.

And mow the back and rake the front and do shrub pruning.

Oh, well, maybe I'll be up to getting it all started in a few more days. However, it is great to have daylight from 5AM to 10PM. *ahhhhhhh*

**Foxes are doing fine. My neighbor, JW and his partner were here over the weekend and he says the mommy looks much better than a few months ago when he saw her. The kits are still amazingly cute :D
More news soon.
