Twelve Hopi Orange Winter squash came up a couple of days ago (out of 16 seeds planted), and are looking big and vigorous.
Also, received my 1ΒΌ” sandpoint from Lehman’s today, all ready for me to drive my new well next week, which I’m taking off. Also got the couplings and drive cap, so all I need to drive the well is the pipe, which I’ll get locally. I’ll worry about the pump later. The water table is definitely less than 20′ down here — sometimes it’s only about 3′.
Also, the dehumidifer in the basement started running this week, and will probably run constantly for the next 5 months. Late last summer, I turned the humidistat up to 60%, so it’s running less than it used to. And the catbird in the back yard returned and started singing this week, so…when the dehumidifier starts running and the catbird starts singing, it’s safe to plant tomatoes.
