What did you do in the garden today?

I put a round wire rack under my sour dough after the first 20minute of steaming and I placed a strip of aluminum foil on the ear, so the bottom of my sour dough and ear didn't get burnt.

Lentil soup for lunch! Home grown/canned tomatoes (last season), home grown onions and garlic. Wish I had grown the spinach (or kale) and carrots, but oh well.

Dang, this stuff is GOOD! Hubby won't eat it, so all the more for me!

Going to cut kale for a salad mine is close to bolting.

Next year I will plant only one Giant Winter melon vine. Just one of these 40lbs giant winter melons are too much for me.

That thing looks like a giant cucumber!

The small baby ones around a foot long kind of taste and look like a giant zucchini squash. The black greenish skin is edible and tender like a zucchini up to that foot size.

I made 9 clone wraps on my Pickering mango tree about a month ago and all the pruned tops grew back within that time. I didn't think water and nutrients could flow up through the part the bark was removed, but it does.

I will make an all-out attempt to get these 9 clones to the fruiting stage after I plant them in individual containers. However, I still need to plant the biggest one in the ground, so I can tell how big it gets. I am not sure if cloning them will turn them into dwarf type trees. It's classified as a medium size tree when grown normally.

We don't have the Pickering mango tree variety for sale where I live, so there should be a demand for them, but I won't sell them unless I can confirm how its fruit will look and taste, since I grew this unfruited mother plant from seed.

This is my last Carrie mango. I must have picked at least six full 5-gallon buckets of Carrie mango this year.

Almost finished with laundry now. I wasn’t able to get the front yard mowed but I did trim the backyard so it looks a lot better. We got a little breeze so that helped. Fingers crossed I can get the front yard done tomorrow. I’ll also finish some watering tomorrow morning.

and if you take it somewhere, do you have to put it in a car seat?
If you do, you need to put googly eyes on it.
