Hi again!
Sorry for the long hiatus... I was working on my other blog http://tentexts.blogspot.com/ .
Ironically that is super similar to how I respond to my eHarmony mails, minus the blog part (insert random reason I haven't returned your message here).
Anyway, I was randomly gardening tonight and I thought I'd explain why I am gardening so late. Partially because of this:

(no, that's not the actual one in my front yard, but I've been drinking whiskey, and don't feel like downloading the pix from my phone).
Seriously, I have 2 of these cactus in my front yard. I would have no idea that I had GORGEOUS NIGHT BLOOMING FLOWERS in my front yard if I didn't garden at night, which I do.
The other reason I'm gardening so late, is because its the best time to prepare for gardening tomorrow!
Yes, night time IS the right time...
For, er, um, gardening.
Really though! I'm prepping for a big day of weeding, and therefore, by watering tonight, the soil will soften up and thus, the weeds will be easier to pull in the morning. If you water during the day, the water may evaporate and not help you weed in the least bit.
So, grab a bottle of whiskey, a flashlight, and set your timer! Each area needs 5-20 minutes of watering. Does that seem like a vague time frame? Well, it is.
Because you're drinking whiskey.
And because you're filling that random time with other things, like writing about your lame-ass dating life in your other blog, and reading this:

So, the time depends on how bored you get between watering, how dense the area of weeds is, and how many whiskey drinks you've had.
But seriously, night watering is brilliant, in many ways I can't name because I've had a few whiskey drinks.
The End
