Hubby's parents came to visit, had cabin fever and was a bit upset Hubby made them sit 6 ft away from us in OUR home. He made them wash their hands as soon as they came in also. He sprayed disinfectant and cleaned where they sat and the bathroom they used was the one he uses instead of mine. They said they had only been to the doctors(his mother fell and she has blisters on her eyes) and grocery. For some reason they thought no one was dying of Covid in our state (Ohio) and that it had pretty much ran it's course. Hubby contacted his 3 siblings about it. Big concern as we know they have some dementia also. Sister texted the next day and said the parents made her wash her hands when she came in and sit 6 ft from them because Hubby (who is an EMT) told them that was how it was to be...she's a nurse and she backed us up. She did take them to be tested for Covid, tests came back negative.SIGH OF RELIEF.
M gave me 4 large zucchinis. I am going to dehydrate most of it , put a small amount in the freezer and have some for deep fried zucchini.
I put 18 trays in the dehydrators of herbs. Will probably be the last of them as they are burning up even with watering daily. I also dehydrated a mixture of greens to blend into powder when I get finished with the rest of the greens.
I picked the last of the purple pod beans and most of the lettuce. Might get one or two more small salads of lettuce. I have one batch that I am waiting for it to bolt and produce seeds.
I have dried clothes on the lines, Hubby has chose to wear wrinkled shirts instead of me running the dryer or turning on the iron. Said they absorb sweat better when not ironed and didn't figure I needed to turn the dryer on.
I bought some new slips from Amazon that Brandy over at The Prudent Homemaker recommended... LOVE LOVE LOVE them..as even working in 90 plus heat they didn't stick to me like nylon does.
I cut the last of the red kale, it's in the dehydrator now(Thursday).
I put dried milk on the tomato plants to fight bottom blossom rot. I am now out of dried milk.

Crush eggs shells to put around tomato plants to prevent blossom end rot. You have to water it in so the calcium gets to roots.
ReplyDeleteI think my squash plants on the front porch have succumbed to the heat. I love squash, so will miss them not producing.
Maybe the parents are only listening to Trump's view of the coronavirus.
Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he doesn't linger too much longer. My mother died a few months ago. She made the decision to stop eating and discontinue treatment. She was terminally ill. I'm glad you had a chance to say "goodbye" to your dad. My siblings and I were all grateful that we had the chance to say"goodbye" to our mother. We were not able to have a funeral, but we were allowed to have 10 people attend her burial, which covered myself, my siblings and our spouses. we plan to have a memorial service sometime in the future when it is safe to do so. I live in Melbourne, Australia and we have just entered our second period of lockdown due to rising numbers of Covid19 cases. I'm glad your hubby took precautions when his parents visited you.Stay safe!
