For planting? I looked at the cabbage but was trying to stick to what the almanac told me.

Planted seeds for broccoli, beans, peas, cucumbers, and kale.

I'm going to do flowers tomorrow. Zinnias, echinacea, and lavender can all be planted right now.

I always collect the seeds from my zinnias year to year and for some reason they look better than the one out of the seed packets. Sadly I didn't collect any seed this last year.

Hi grannyland @campingshaws sorry about your missing duck eggs. You may have to put her in a cage that is covered with hc. Do you think a snake got into the eggs again?
@CapricornFarm So very sorry about your little dog. Hopefully he will be ok, try not to blame yourself. That's why they are called accidents

I got 5 zinnias planted before the rain. After the rain i went and picked up rocks the ditch witch spit out and put them along the base of my garden fence. Now i have rocks all the way around. It was supposed to rain tomorrow, but after the cat goes to the vet for her surgery i will try to do more planting if it is not raining.

We have been getting spin off weather from hurricane Harvey. Lots of heavy rain & wind. We have been so wet & cool this summer that I'll be lucky to get many tomatoes canned. They just aren't ripening. Makes me very sad, I hate store bought canned tomatoes. I will be going to a neighboring farm to pick a bushel of green beans on Thursday. He is willing to charge less & I know this person. He has bought many hens from me over the last 2 years.

Granny, you got yourself some great deals today. Sorry that Robert has ear infections again. Has his doctor ever mentioned tubes for his ears?

Remember me next time! I found the same true with my lime basil. I had a store-bought one that went to seed and the one that sprang up beside it is twice as big and robust. I had planted puny little zinnias that I bought on clearance and they died, then after a month came back! I guess they had seeded. These haven't really bloomed yet, any day I hope.

If you want marigolds or basil, I'm your gal.
