The female cukes are coming in like gang busters - I must have pollinated 10 this am. Tied up the big spaghetti squash better & turned the 1 kabocha I have. Trimmed the bottoms of the brandywines, lots of small tomatoes on them now. Fed the chickens the last of the first batch of lettuce that bolted.
I pulled all the soft neck garlic & it's laying on the bed to dry a bit, the dirt was a little wetter than I would have liked for harvest. I'll get them tied up & hung this afternoon. Ended up with 40 cloves, mostly large & a couple medium. Very happy with that. The hard neck still has a couple weeks in them I think.
I moved a couple volunteer sungolds to the garlic bed. My squash all seem to be males at this point, but there are at least a few squash already developing.
Need to stir up the bedding in the coops & tie up some dahlias & empty the JB traps into some soapy water. So many JB, it's crazy.
Have a good one y'all!
