Didn't have much time to check the garden today. My little sister passed her boards for her FNP cert yesterday. Made an excellent lemon raspberry cake for her today. Mmmmmmmm

Anyway managed to do a quick walk through of the tomatoes, picked a few weeds, need to prune and Definately need to add another string set to my florida weave. Found a little Volunteer tomato dont see many of those up here.


Not sure what is going on at the top of my tomatoes. Kind of wilted and curled? We had rain last night but temps were in the 80's today. Going to prune and weed tomorrow, might side dress it as well. Hopefully that will help.

If they were VERY good best friends they would help you weed

They've helped us do a lot of chores, and we've helped them. I did weed her strawberries last summer, when she was feeling overwhelmed with life.

The dumb weeds:

That is lamb's quarter. It's delicious! It's one of the first "crops" I get out of my garden.

I've seen where yall hang up garlic...but what u do with onions? They are just yellow ones.

I take an old barbeque grate and prop it up on some buckets and lay the garlic or onions on that to cure. I have it on my front porch out of the sun, but there's usually a good breeze there.

It rained! For the last two days we have gotten an hour+ downpour. I'm ecstatic! I water regularly but nothing beats a good bit of rain. Today I took my morning and harvested 4lb of blueberries...which is all that was left on my early ripening bush and not even half on my large b.b bush. Also pulled two zucchini, two lovely steak tomatoes (that will definitely be sandwiches lol) and a couple pattypan squash which will be tasty grilled. Sadly today I was looking at one of my girls and realized they were way way past the age for grit.... she doesn't have sour crop but it was very full. I felt like a complete moron that I hadn't put any out yet. I do give them acv in their water but nothing beats a bit of grit.

Is this after watering them?

I should say so! I got outta breath just thinking bout all that!!!
Question on blueberry bushes...if they are a yr or 2 old do they need watering regularly still or r the roots deeper like established trees?

I don’t give mine special attention

July 2, 2022 my daughter got married!

The only oops that I noticed the whole night is on these pictures from the photo booth. It says 1999.
The wedding was fabulous and we all had a good time.

What did you do in your garden today?

I picked a bunch of Rattlesnake green beans and Cherokee wax beans, a few tomatoes, three eggplants, some broccoli shoots, and jalapenos. Pretty happy with today's harvest!

Tore down a raised garden bed that's shared between properties because it's too much for us to handle....got hundreds of established plants to move to new places!

Your weeds look like lamb's quarter, aka "fat hen" plants. Chickens adore them. If I've identified them properly that is. If you want, have a look at them online. They taste a bit like spinach. Same family I believe.

my chickens love it.
