I can't wait until they move into the pond and get HUGE! They do look slightly smaller in pictures than in person though, they're truly quite huge especially 2 of them. But definitely need a pond

I was pretty lazy today... But I did get the tomatoes clipped up to their strings and pruned away the suckers and some bottom leaves. It's amazing how much they grow this time of year. I have about a half dozen cherry tomatoes ready to start turning, some early girls a little bigger than a golf ball and some big beefs a little bigger than a cherry... Plums are loaded with flowers, but no fruit yet and one of the bell peppers and the jalapeno are flowering. Picked some cukes today along with some radishes.

Some of my tomatoes have tons of flowers on them. Others only just got planted this week so they're still catching up. They were quite large/tall though but I planted very deep so need to grow tall again. One is flowering though. My bell peppers and squash are flowering. Well, one squash. Actually, the one I thought was totally dead has now produced a HUGE flower despite having no leaves??? It really was almost dead. BUT. Producing a flower is a good sign that it is NOT dead, right? So hopefully it will grow leaves and get bigger soon. My zucchini is browning despite being the healthy one when I put them in. Still hanging in there though.

That makes sense. Only work I do is the dog.

And that's true, thanks. But it's good when it's intentional! Lol for me I had a lot I wanted to do but I was being lazy and sitting on my phone or just laying on the bed when I went up to change to go out, etc. More like wasting time. Idk how. Hot today and slow moving I guess.

But I did get some done like the fish tank and now I just bought more potting soil, watering wand, bird seed so gonna transplant the other tomatoes either to bigger pots or in ground and feed the birds. Dad says I shouldn't cause they should learn to forage naturally? But I like watching them and it was full until like a month or two ago. And we have baby birds in the bird house and a nest in the bushes, both by the feeders, and clearly they chose there for a reason, probably proximity to food. Or just cause it's an excellent, highly sheltered location. But still. That mama bird is working soooo hard. Watched her fly back and forth like 4 times in a couple minutes cause she flies back, feeds them, flies away to get more food, back to feed, etc., etc. Poor mama. The babies get SO loud when she comes back too lol neat to watch

Please, please tell me this hasn't become a celebrated national holiday. Are there Hallmark cards for the event and parades?

I refuse to participate. I'm baking a cake instead (but at least I'm washing up as I go along).
