Not much gardening going on here this year, do have seven feed tubs with tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Planted some trees earlier this spring and it has been a wet summer so far so they are doing well.
We have things coming up that what not sure what they are, time will tell. It's my inlaw's house even though we have been here numerous times you don't always pay attention or note what is where.

Dug garlic last night, think I have mostly singles it was planted late and has been dry. Already dug potatoes and onions do have some potato onions to dig but they're still mostly green. Been planting black eye peas and a few sunflowers in the empty spots to keep something growing and covering...
