I enjoyed getting outside this afternoon for a little while. The sun was out, but the temperature was moderate, in the low 80s. I added to and circulated the compost, pulled a few more weeds from the strawberry patch, and checked out the afternoon sunshine pattern with an eye to locating a raised garden bed for next year.
The fig tree is growing back nicely. The fence I erected will protect it from the deer through the rest of this season, I think.
I took down a branch from the tree by the front corner of the garage that was shading the lilac and Rose of Sharon bushes. I cut the branch up and bundled it for curbside pickup next week.
Some clouds moved in, and the mosquitos came out. They seem late this year, but perhaps that is just poor memory on my part. I must say, they bother me when I'm outside - enough that I'll stay in to avoid them. So if I'm going to enjoy working outside, I'll have to become a bit more tolerant of the buzzing creatures.
