Inadvisable gardening and communication

greenstormI planted some morden corn seed, saved from last year, yesterday. I also put in some zucchini seeds.
I've made a chart with all the sections of my garden so I can record when I water them. Hopefully I can set up an automatic timer on some of them soon. It's a lot of work just moving the sprinkler and connecting to the soaker hoses sequentially.
Today I put some asparagus seedlings in the ground in the tomato field, next to my row of apple trees.
The soil around the tomatoes was really warm yesterday. I'd like to get some mulch around them. I'm a little conflicted about whether to use compost, straw, or aspen chips. A combination of chips and compost seems to make sense, but straw is easier.
Did I mention my gaspe corn is tasselling? It doubles in size every time I water it, which indicates I should likely be watering more, but here we are. It was planted roughly 5 weeks ago.
Aside from planting corn something like 7 weeks before a potential first frost, I've also inadvisably put a copy of my F1 tomato crosses into aerogardens. This is the point where it's clear that they are not microdwarf tomatoes.
I was going to do pottery this morning but the person with the key is in Mexico for a couple weeks. Back to the dilemma, do I set up the nutrigarden or the pottery wheel?
