Yes, I think we should go with the harvest schedule for the community garden beds. The soil temperature readings from last week show we can start planting the cool-season crops a bit earlier than usual. I already checked the seed inventory and we have plenty of spinach and kale varieties. The lettuce mix needs to be ordered but I can do that today. The irrigation timers will need to be reprogrammed once we set the final planting dates. Let me know if you want me to coordinate with the volunteers for the weekend sessions. I think starting at 9 am would give us enough time before the heat.

I checked the weather forecast for the weekend and it looks like Saturday morning will be the best window for painting the porch. The humidity levels are supposed to drop after noon so we should be fine. I picked up the primer and the exterior paint in that sage color you liked. The brushes need to be soaked in warm water before we start to soften the bristles. We should also tape off the trim first so we don't get paint on the brick. Let me know if you need me to grab extra drop cloths or painter's tape before Friday evening.
