Crack of Stupid

4:50 a.m. comes along pretty early, but the sun is almost up and I can see the weeds well enough to kill them.  As one wag refers to it as the "crack of stupid", but it helps me stay up with the weeds.  Unfortunately, the mosquitoes are up too.  At least for today there was enought breeze to keep them from landing.  It is really amazing how much you can get done in an hour in the morning.  Of course if it starts to rain too soon today a lot of the weed killing will turn into weed transplanting.  Everything is taking off with the warmer temps, and the rainfall expected today will accelerate the process.  Maybe the warmer weather crops like beans will germinate better now.  The soil temps are getting warmer, but we need a consistent week of warmth to get them in optimum range.
