Tried using the dryer to actually dry some clothes today. They didn't dry. So I started taking the back off. Found a short circuit at a junction from the power cable to the motor and heating element. It was too hot to work on at the time. Have to get back to it in a few minutes.
Raked up a bunch of debris in the front yard this evening. Parts of dead sunflowers and stuff like that, plus dead grass I had tilled yesterday.
Wasn't able to just use the tiller for fear of damaging roots of rosebushes and small trees. So had to take out the claw hammer and remove all the grass and grass roots at the base of those. Need to pick up a roll of weed fabric. It's on sale for $5 at Home Depot. Lay that down and mulch over it. That should be a big enough roll for the little spots in the front yard and also the flower bed in the back yard plus extra.
Started hardening off plants today. Should be able to plant out tomatoes soon. Peppers aren't far behind. Can plant out giant pumpkins now. Sadly, all the cucumber vines died off. Guess I either tried to harden them off too quickly or it got too cold for them. They only survive in hot weather.
The scorpion pepper seeds are germinating really well! Once again, hot weather plants. And humid. Had to use the seeding tray plus a heating pad to get them going. Hope to have a few of those peppers this year to actually reach harvest.
Okay, time to get back to that dryer.
