High: 76.0
Low: 51.0
Cloudy, Light Rain

I need to fix the sensors because it is reporting a high of 102. Maybe because it's touching a metal t-post?

Anyways, today I went to Sow True Seed and got some peas, beans, ground cherries, and a planting guide that helps me see when things should be planted.

I took two tarps off of the raised beds and put them over the ground where the new bed will be. I weighed the tarps and plastic down with bags of soil and small bricks.

I took a cutting from the elderberry and stuck it in a tree pot. We'll see what happens.

I scheduled a meeting with a landscaping guy for tomorrow morning to give me a quote on clearing out the westside slope.

I down-potted the Ischia and Black Madeira figs today. 15G was way too big.

I put a mixture of potting soil, propagation mix, and Mykos into 48 4" x 9" tree pots. I was going to plant all of the Euclid and Celeste cuttings, but a lot of the Euclid ones didn't look great. They had a reddish color to them and just didn't seem alive. I am going to see if I can get some fresh cuttings from live wood again. The Celeste ones were legit, though. I am going to experiment with just keeping this in the greenhouse, where temperatures will fluctuate greatly. But I don't want them in the bedroom. Eh, we'll see what happens.
