What did you do in the garden today?

[Iluveggers]

I made pasta with a veggie, scallops, & olive oil sauce. Sautéed garlic scapes, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and added 2 chopped tomatoes and a bag of scallops, then wilted chard over it. We have an abundance of chard & scapes so I was able to use up a bunch without making everyone bored with it!

Just made my first batch of zucchini fritters of the summer! Our eggs, zucchini, garlic, and shallots, so delicious!

Don't you LOVE a meal that you grew yourself?

So satisfying when you know that delicious food came from your blood, sweat, and tears.....

This time of year, sweat, sweat, and sweat. No need to add salt!

@Acre4Me moles are the bane of our existence here too.
My husband’s ex wife and her husband shave a mole hunting company. They came over last year and set 11 or 12 traps on our property. We’ve caught 5 or 6 moles. I need to relearn how to reset them. The darn moles even come up in my raised garden (that’s hip height to me!).

@Swiss on the tomatoes when they get big enough for the branches to hit the ground the branches will put out roots from that spot too!

I watered the gardens today and moved a zucchini plant to a half barrel planter because it was way too crowded where it was. Went to lunch to celebrate my Grandson’s 4th birthday

Then we went over to the other Grandma’s house and went swimming.
The AC guy called today, he said it will be at least a week before parts come in. But he did bring over a window unit and put it in our bedroom. The house is currently 91 degrees inside.

Unfortunately, I can't let them do that as they are in 5-gallon buckets and we will be moving in the next few weeks. Once we get them to our new house, I won't need them to stay so container-sized (I know, indeterminates in containers wasn't the best idea. They are kind of an experiment.).

Thanks, everyone for responding, I'm going to try to train them down the same stake they each grew up. I'll let you know how it goes (with pictures, if I am successful).

OH I missed that you were in buckets, but yes train and tie them in the down, and if you need to back up again. They don't care.

Love the pics. I do feel your pain with the AC. Is it wrong to dream of fall?

I did nothing- nada- zippo. Had to start using the CPAP mask and cannot sleep with it. Just THOUGHT I lacked energy. Today has been the third day without sleeping soundly at night that I laid around all day like a beached whale- not asleep, not quite alert, just there. Don’t want to read, watch TV, do a craft or move Just want to get some sleep. Trying not to sleep in the chair so I can sleep tonight.
