What did you do in the garden today?

[Pensmaster]

My eggplants are doing well this year. No fruit yet but they have flowers and made it further than last years. View attachment 1072365

Lots of squash too. Mostly butternut.

I think this is a winged ornamental squash that crossed with a yellow summer squash last year.

Ok not exactly garden related but look at my new tillers, fertilizers and old produce eaters! Just born this morning, she had ten.

Nice Dan. Grow season just getting started here. Few tomatoes. Far too hot though.
Love the tillers and auto fertizers

I got a peony plant at the grocery store for $5. I used to have some big beautiful ones in Nova Scotia. I am still buying seeds, gotta plant something in that bare soil by the driveway. Went to the Doctor, i don't think she likes me much. Or maybe she is tired of seeing me. She threatened to wrap me in bubble wrap. No sympathy about my truck crash or sore ribs. Feeling hot outside already maybe i will stay inside today.

If your doctor is always making you feel that way, tell her! Doctors are just people too. Sometimes we all need a good whack upside the head. My suggestion is, if you can't get your relationship with her settled to your satisfaction after that, go elsewhere. Some folks got no business being in service professions.

No harm in hiding indoors once in a while. I try not to do that too much because I'll see something I need to do or get started on some big projects inside and miss summer! I spend enough time inside come winter. I hate cold.

Was going to tell you this yesterday. I've totally frustrated my doctor. He pretty much told me so and his assistant told me to only see the general the one I've frustrated from now on as that's why he gets paid the big bucks. Really?

Well thanks to insurance, i just had to change doctors again. So i have seen her four times since we moved here and three times was for this poison ivy. I keep getting it because i keep going outside. So i can see why she is frustrated but so am i . But she seems dismissive to me. Not to worry, if it keeps up i will switch again. Being a nurse, you don't put up with crap for long.

 

[Pensmaster]

Yes that's what happened to me. We switched insurance groups as well. What a nightmare. I pay for my wife and I to have insurance. Deductible is high and specialist are higher.
Just thought of something here with your itching. Does the dog go into the bushes? If so watch that closely my father in law had real bad poison oak until they figured the dog was giving it to him.

Can anyone help me here ? I bought a jade weeping crabapple that is still potted . Probably for way too long now. To me it looks like leaf curl in the cherrys but for sure an apple . I would appreciate any feed back.

Yes, i have thought of that. Somethimg else i can blame her for. I guess i am going to have to wear long pants and shirts and gloves everywhere i go. Ugh. Makes me want to get a cold shower and go to bed.

@granny hatchet If it's rootbound in the pot, it probably doesn't have enough soil left to hold water and nutrients to stay alive, especially in sun or high heat. Photos of rootball would help.
