What did you do in the garden today?

[karenerwin]

We are watering daily, no rain in like 2 weeks.
Garden is growing.
@karenerwin How is your son doing?

He is still in critical condition. He now has haemophilus influenza ( which for him is a type of pneumonia ). He also has MRSA and they are trying to get his sodium down. He is still heavily sedated and intubated. He has undergone 2 surgeries ( each 2 to 3 hours long) in the past 6 days to clean up dead skin and to take care of some of the skin grafts.
Thank you for asking. We are at the beginning of a long, rocky road.

Hugs for both of you. I can't begin to know what you're going through.

The farm garden looked good except for the 4 tomato plants. They looked like they needed to be watered but we’ve had a good amount of rain since I planted them. Plus everything else looks sufficiently watered so I don’t know what’s wrong with them

Had a light frost on Thursday. Hope that's the last as I planted my tomatoes on Friday. Today I installed the tomato 'cages'.

Still praying for comfort and healing.

I miss my garden. I haven't been home in 3 days...

I miss my animals too, for that matter.

Nooo your zucchini is going to be so big when you get home.

I've been looking, but I can't spend a ton of money on it. Wood is super expensive here & it seems like a waste - my cedar beds are falling apart after a few years & my galvanized steel beds are rusting. I need something more long lasting. I was thinking maybe cinder blocks. But I don't know how much it would cost. DH refuses to work with pallets, lol. He gets so annoyed with anything I want to do with them & he'll be the one doing the work so I need him. But even my pallet compost bins are falling apart already after only a couple years. Cinder blocks seem like a lot of back breaking work. See, round & round I go.

I've been watching a YouTube channel that uses "Birdie's garden beds". They might be worth looking into. Here's a link.

I'm not going to cover my brassica bed with the plastic mesh fencing I've been using to keep deer from nibbling on the plants. Just to see if they'll nibble on the plants. LOL

I didn't water or weed today. I picked some parsley, lemon balm, garlic fronds, broccoli, lettuce and kale for my supper salad. It's pretty nice to get fresh veggies from a garden. I haven't had that good fortune in many years.
