Most gardeners I've ever talked to like mornings the best to be out among the plants. For me however I am at work 6 days a week by 6:00 AM so that leaves me just one day to enjoy the morning garden stroll (coffee cup in hand).
This morning though there were a few things I wanted to accomplish before it gets too hot. The weather forecast for today is calling for a high of 92.
I picked a couple hand-fulls of immature green beans (first of the season) for stir frying later today.
Also harvested some kale which will be cooked with zucchini this afternoon.
Harvested a couple days supply of lettuce for salads, wanted to get it before it gets all wilted from the heat.
Replanted some carrots which were coming up spotty.
It was a good morning, very peaceful and it's going to be a beautiful but hot day.
Probably will find things to do in the house before venturing back out to the garden this evening when the temperature goes down.

great blog entry! I too love a morning stroll with coffee in hand. But, I am not much of a morning person and I have a toddler, so I usually sleep till she does, but this morning, I set the alarm at 6 am to get up and do my allowed weekly watering. I must say, it was very enjoyable and quiet. I felt like I was the only one awake and it was still nice and misty from the evening dew. |

I am looking forward to being able to just stroll through my flower beds. At present I go out to clean,dig,mow and prepare new beds. Enjoy your mornings and think of me. |

Hi quasar! I also start work at 6am these days and really miss my daily morning stroll. Do you still get an evening stroll (although it's not the same) |

By all means...the evening stroll is mandatory...almost as nice as the morning but not quite. And the plants do have to be tucked in for the night at dusk. |
