What did you do in the garden today?

Dang I never even thought about that. Yeah, they are all in the same bed.

If you have the space, try to move the winter squash plants. They shouldn’t be blooming yet. That might work.

I have blooms and squash on everything already and the bushes are huge, I got them started early It's all good, I have a notebook for all the things I've learned this year and since this is my biggest garden ever, the book is filling up.

You could try hand pollinating the winter squash so they get the right pollen. It might help. I had a good harvest of summer squash but until they were done my winter squash did poorly. Best of luck with that.

Picked 4 yellow squash, pruned lower 1/3rd of leaves on Tomatoes and removed hidden suckers. Helped Cantaloupe to climb a tower. Observed to see how the volunteer beans grew. Looks like some of them are pole beans. Scouted out my next Cucumber to be picked tonight. Going to put it through a cheese grater, chop up hot peppers, add spices and vinegar. The heat from the hot peppers do not hit until its all gone. Everything else I did today was animal or composting related.

Oh my wife took a great snap yesterday of one of our blue Sumatra chicks. I think this girl is posing for us on the catwalk.

Just noticed I have a limping hen. She is eating and getting around, but definitely favoring her left leg. Here is the link if anybody wants to weigh in. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/limping-hen-need-advice.1396859/

Showed my garden off to my daughter today when she came by to drop off "some seeds". I'll post a picture in a bit about what she brought me. I also picked 2 slicing tomatoes ( had most of 1 on a hamburger. Also picked a couple more zucchini and some strawberries. I know there are some cucumbers that I need to pick as well. 1 of the little yellow squash shriveled up and quit. I do have 1 that has gotten beyond the shrivel up and die stage. It may be the one I self pollinated. I will have to catch up on this thread tomorrow or the next day. Too tired to read it all tonight!
