Got kids balloons, their friends gave them Valentines, did the candy thing, dinner out cheese pizza at bowling alley, roses and other flowers in vases, chocolates. I hate Valentines day. Love the chocolate, and flowers. Hopefully not pregnant.

Happy 4th of July y'all. Planted more tomatoes, along with some other plants like lettuce, kale, zucchini squash, dill, and chives. Doing the inverted water bottle method every foot or 2 feet to keep hydrated in the heat wave alert of upper 90s. Corn did well with catfish water from defrosting. Tomato early girl has some but size of a baby fist. Took out egg shells by corn need in future to grind in something, mortar and pestle maybe so don't ruin coffee grinder blades might be project for kiddos.
