DAY ONE
DAY TWO
It's sort of hard to tell, but they primed the upstairs window frames and the second-story gutter as well. They finished priming that little, still-yellowy part in the middle of the gutter before they left. These guys work fast, smart and clean.
It was almost 90 degrees yesterday. Thankfully for them, it's back down to 60s today.
This weekend, I used a cool soil-blocking contraption to make soil blocks for germinating seeds for the garden. I put all the starter seeds on a plank so we could easily move them all inside and out at once.
The pic below is so we remember where everything is planted.
We had more space on the plank, so I planted a couple more things.
The biggest potential problem with this experiment is, I didn't have the recommended soil (which is a rather particular mix of specialized stuff), so I used some moo doo mixed with potting soil. It might be too thick for a new seed's roots. The little pots I used have pure potting soil in them, which is light and fluffy. We'll see.
The moss we planted at the end of March is now starting to crawl.
PS
ProPil Pop Quiz #8
I promised a Pop Quiz, but then, in the meantime, we figured it out. The little bag of seeds (pictured above the moss) was found in a trash can in Dupont Circle. We wanted to know what the seeds were, and it turns out the label tells us. Four O'clocks. Apologies for the Pop Quiz false alarm. We didn't know there was a flower named for an hour in the day.
