Very strange thing. Earlier today I felt like I was getting sick with a respiratory infection. That or I breathed too many fumes from acid this weekend. (That wasn't likely. If that had been the case I would have known shortly after it happened.)
My throat and my left lung ached and burned, especially when I took a deep breath. I deferred going to the gym because of it.
That lasted a good part of the day into the evening. Now it seems to have gone away. Strange but not complaining by any means.
Made a run to Home Depot and Dollar Tree. Had to get parts and batteries for the irrigation system. Some parts are expected, though I do have to replace more than I anticipated. Dog damage. I did buy fairly large bags of the most often replaced parts. Shouldn't have to buy any more of those this year and hopefully at least half of next year. But they are the cheapest parts of the whole system. The chewed up sprinklers are a much bigger deal.
Home Depot was out of stock of the most common sprinkler I use. As usual, that section is a complete mess and they probably have no idea what is out of stock. Every year.
Got out during lunch today and tied some of the tallest tomato plants to their cages.
Been reading conflicting information about when I can transplant the tomatoes in. Some sources say as soon as one day after spraying. Other sources say 3 days, a week or 30 days. I think what I will do is transplant one test plant after a few days. I think it shouldn't really take too long, with the heat and plastic sheeting. That should speed up the breakdown of the chemical. Some of them are growing so fast I want to get them in the ground quickly to give their roots more space. I think they should start flowering soon.
