    What did you do in the garden today?

    Three of my four tarragon twigs were still green so I moved them to a pot. (Surprisingly the dead one was one of the two I’d dipped in root hormone.) No visible roots on them though. 🤨 Maybe tiny nodules, I couldn’t tell for sure. Oh well, either they make it or they don’t!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Those look better than the sad little things I grew last year. I keep looking at the greenery on this year’s carrots and wondering if I’m going to be disappointed again; lots of greenery but I can’t see any carrot root peeking out of the soil.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    If one of them bloomed significantly before the other you might be able to save seeds from that individual fruit. Beyond that, it might not be too late to bag any new ones depending on your first frost date and how long it takes the pepper varieties you’re growing to mature.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    One of my mystery sweet pepper plants is blooming so I put a tulle bag over the blooms to keep it from cross-pollinating with the Cayenne. My first time bagging a plant so 🙏 it works. And the bags were intended for squash and such so I should probably get smaller ones for future use. 😅

    Preserving Your Harvest

    Dehydrated a bunch of sweet potatoes for use as dog treats today. I was going to try them as cat treats too, but the cat in question vetoed them.

    Checked this morning and I got my first (as far as I can see, male) cucumber flower! 🎉

    Feeding Wild Birds

    My turkey momma visited today. She appears to be down one baby sadly, but the remaining trio seem a little bigger. Mine must be between nests, they haven’t been going through the latest batch as fast as I thought they would. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Looking at the squash plant it seems all the upcoming blossoms are male, or at least I’m not seeing any mini fruits behind any of them. 😕 Must be patient! Trail of Tears beans are starting to bloom en masse. Peppers are still looking stressed and potato plants are probably harvestable if I can...

    One of my owls was yelling about something earlier. Never heard that scream before, usually it’s just hooting.

    Oh wow, eleven year old seeds? How are the plants doing? Did you have to do anything special to keep them going? I’ve noticed plants from older seeds tend to be less robust.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Saw a bug on my squash and thought it was squash bug, panicked and squished it. Did some Googling afterwards and realized I got my pests switched around and it was actually a potato beetle. 🤪

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My second sowing of peas has started to sprout! And I got most of the dried pods off the first sowing, I just have a few more to wait on.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Picked of some more dried pea pods today. It was supposed to rain today but decided not to, so I guess I need to water tomorrow.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My squash bloomed overnight! I think it’s a male bloom so I guess I need to look up ways to save the pollen until I get a female. 🤔

    I wasn’t going to enter, but lookit lookit how my squash is doing! *coughs* Entry #1: Squash bloom. It was a seed library seed, and the packet said it was ‘2000 Year Old Squash’ (a little digging brought up the name ‘Gete Okosomin’) donated by the local indigenous museum. Of the five or so I...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I’ve heard jewelweed helps for poison ivy, but I don’t know if it would help if you’re allergic. 🤷‍♀️ There was me thinking the top ones were Iroquois Cornbread beans. 😅 I rented a truck from Home Depot to transport mine; warn your hubby if you use a box truck (there weren’t any rentable...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I think I saw chipmunk traps at Tractor Supply, the issue is I’m surrounded by woods and parks and such, so no matter how many I hypothetically trapped and killed, more would just move in. Thus I’ve been trying to repel/exclude them instead. I appreciate the suggestion though!
