Eight Weeks

I am coping with my broken foot injury as best I can. It's still early days. It is eight weeks to go with no weight bearing -- May 1 at the earliest. 

Will I be recovered enough by mid May to do the planting and moving I have planned?

Thank goodness I got almost all the spring chores done during our warm February days. 

But I still have to trim back the rosemary. And when my High Country Gardens order arrives in about 2 weeks, I'll need help unboxing and setting up a place to keep the nursery pots until I can plant.

My biggest issue now, though is watering. 

I watered most stuff outdoors on February 24. It's been dry and no rain is forecast, so another watering two weeks after the last is needed. Mid March at the latest.

I need to hook up hoses and repair the front faucet - it leaks at the house junction and I can't tighten it. The leader hose has to be replaced to the hose around to the back.

Then I need someone to hose water the gardens and my pots.

I am thinking to ask Tommy Tapia, the handyman we've used, if I can hire him for a few hours to do those hose set up and watering chores. That would really help.
