What did you do in the garden today?

These will be the only C. Pepo squash I plant. They're both bush varieties, and I wonder if it would matter that much if they crossed.

I'll see which I like better, save seed from one to plant next year. And compare that to the originals. I bet I'll have plenty of seed left over.
2 zuke varieties crossing. I doubt you would notice. Here is a true story. In the 80s I had a Philopena neighbor about 1/4 mile away. She liked to garden. I was still open pollinating C. Peppo. Next year I had really long skinny squash from her squash pollen. She had squash that looked like some of mine. :lol:
 
I weeded my flower bed by the mail box, argh this mum style weed is the pits... Takes over the bed with runners. I have no idea how to get rid of it. I'm going to try to do weeding in the morning before work. I ordered three fig trees and some chamomile. Played some chocolate kiss today and moved my catnip and a low growing plant... Can't remember the name... Will be seeding zinnias as well and am rehydrating some strawberry plants as ground cover.

You guys are an inspiration!
 
When I need BT I get it at the big box stores.
The big box stores near me don't carry it in a large enough amount to be worth buying, unless in dire need. The Arbico Organics place had the gallon size for a better price than I had been seeing AND they gave me $5 off. So, I'm just waiting, now. I'm excited to do something to get at these flippin' destructo spongy/gypsy moth caterpillars!
 
I started a few more seeds today: lettuce, marigolds, sage, rosemary and zinnia seeds that I saved from last year.

And I planted tomatoes in the garden. Five Roma, 2 Oregon Spring, 2 Stupice, 2 Black Krim, 3 Large Cherry and 2 Early Girls. That should keep me in tomatoes over the winter. I still have three large cherry tomato plants left, but not sure where to plant them.
Hmm, you seem to be missing Genovese Basil.
 
just popped into my brain & bummed me out a bit.
I got bummed out twice, the next morning the basil sprouts were gone, something ate them, it's either snails, slugs or crickets. I bounced back and planted more Genovese basil indoor. This time, I will grow them indoor under my 320W grow light, its rated for a 4 x 4 tent, so I shouldn't have any problems.
