What did you do in the garden today?

[Minanora]

I'm home after my 'birthday' weekend. Everything except ONE plant lived. The plant that died, a darn gopher ate it at the base. A pumpkin vine. I'm sad, but at the same time.... Holy crap there's so much corn! Each stalk that is making ears; has 3 ears per stalk. However we're getting tassels without silks; we'll see how this pans out. But the sweet corn is about 10' tall now. Holy sheesus.


Also, yesterday at the lake it was 114 degrees. We stayed in the water all day. I also.... well, on Friday night, saw headlights on my property at the lake at about 9pm. it was really hot, so I was in skibbies.... we were getting ready for bed in our camper; I saw the headlights, I didn't have arms (this is a good thing.... you'll see), I busted out of our camper, in my skibbies, into the blinding headlights. I noted the following as I stepped onto the dirt: "This is not my BIL car, this is not my SILs car, this is not my best friends truck... THESE ARE TRESSPASSERS!!!! RED!!!!!! CODE RED!. Ehem, So, I bust out... the first thing that comes out of my lady mouth "EXCUSE ME, YOU KNOW YOU'RE 'profane; TRESSPASSING, RIGHT?!" Mind you, our generator is running full tilt, so I can't hear anything well, I'm being blinded by LED headlights.... ehem.... I hear, very gently, lightly.... 'Chill out, it's me." .... >.> "Who?!" (can't hear for crap)..... "WHO ARE YOU?!" .... softly, "Robert" Omg... it's my cousin, a Senior Sherriff, and his little deputy.


o.o

"ROBERT!? OMG.... I'm so sorry!!!! Let me go get some pants on. I'll be right back." I scared his deputy so bad. XD


I was literally going to get in their car and leave them there for the authorities to pick up, or otherwise attach to the vehicle to go to the authorities. XD In my underwear. Yup. No shoes even. What is wrong with me...

Garden today when I got home, plus trying to express how tall the corn is this evening. My tomatoes are almost all over 5' tall. Except the Romaa, those are quite stout by comparison.

Hey, you don't call first, you get bat crap crazy in underpants.

Life lesson.

Morning. Another icky one out there.

I decided to pull the garlic this am, it's just been so wet I was afraid it was going to rot, the dried leaves were slimy. A couple decent sized bulbs but most were smallish. If you'll remember I planted them this spring after putting them in the fridge for 3 weeks just to save them because I couldn't plant last fall. Happy to have saved the garlic, this is year 7 I think with it.

I have that same shelving unit! I never thought to use it like this. I'll have to get it and spread my garlic out some more, because it's kind of crowded on the drying rack. I dug mine a week or so ago.

Not bad for a spring planting, I think.

Hahaha, great minds & all that! It works great for it, I bough it just for this. I always make a mess of DHs shop drying stuff so this will help keep it together & not in his way. & when the garlic is dry, the onions will go on it next.
