I went out to check the squash and beans and saw the rabbits ate my Swiss chard. Let's just say that I cannot wait for my new raised beds next garden season.
We had a few more set backs with the bathroom. When the old light fixture was taken down, we saw that they ran the wires thru the wall and screwed the light fixture into the drywall (not the wood). Our handy-man had to go get us an electrical box and installed that. Then when he went to assemble the new light fixture, we saw that one part of it was broken. It's being returned, and another has already been ordered.
Now that I see how many short cuts the previous owners did, I will be checking the carpet upstairs to see if they even put foam under it. One room has to be re-carpeted in the future for sure. I'm trying to clean up the other room and wait it out for a year or two, considering all the repairs needed and costly expenses this year.
I got the herb garden fully weeded and put Mom's flamingo solar light in it. I also got 3/4ths of the rose bed weeded, but so much more needs weeded.
Also, I am so frustrated with our one tomato plant for sandwiches etc. It's fully loaded (put banana peel water on it), but it's so loaded the tomatoes are very small. I'll be removing many green tomatoes later today, to try and let the plant have more strength for producing larger tomatoes. Let's just say I'll not be pouring banana peel water on it anymore.
