What did you do in the garden today?

I'd participate in a seed swap, but I feel like most of the seeds I'd have to swap folks would already have! Things like Ky wonder pole beans are pretty popular.

I am going back out soon. Stay cool!

I am afraid we are stuck with hot until September or so. Just take lots of breaks and stay hydrated. 200 gallons of debris picked up off my build site for the chicken coop already today. Husband finished fencing around that space yesterday so i can shut the gates at night. Now he is off to NS. Tomorrow will be pick up materials day unless it rains.

Oh, is that what you're building, a chicken coop? I saw in your post above that you were pulling weeds at the build site, and I was going to ask what you are building! I'm still trying to remember who's who on here since I've only been here a few days. I don't have the greatest memory, unfortunately.

Maybe we can organize a seed swap for august? Who's interested? We could either each make multiple packets or assign who sends their packet to whom, so we each only create one packet.

A seed swap sounds like fun, although it may not work out for me because in Minnesota, we're a little behind the southern states, I think, and I may not have any seeds that are ready by August, other than petunias and other annuals. The perennials here won't set seeds this early...

Yes, a chicken coop and a bigger space for my guineas in the brooder. My memory is not the best either. Hugs.

Well, no matter what seeds you have, probably someone else here that doesn't have it. I don't have pole bean seeds right now. HE brought me some blue lake bush beans earlier this year as part of a gift, so those are what I planted. I know I have some left. Just got back inside from the heat. Brain fried in my pate. Y'all stay cool. I'm off to lunch , air conditioner, and a nap!

Another 100 gallons of debris cleaned up. Put some hardware cloth at the bottom of one of the panels of the dog run until i ran out. Cooling off inside again. Could we not swap plant swaps and/ or seeds?

I am lucky, building my coop in the shade makes life easier. I always try to work in shade since there are so many places that need work

Okay if we do seeds I am in... now had seeds sent me for mustard plant did not even sprout that would be high on my list but maybe that is why I do not find it locally anyway up for a swap

It is 93 here, feels like 99. Might go down to the river to cool off.
