What did you do in the garden today?

I’ve been having to give my loofah at least 2 gallons of water a day. It’s in a ten gallon grow bag and it just sucks it all up in less than 24 hours

My cost calculation includes the extra cost of King Arthur bread flour. Cha-ching!

King Arthur site has a yeast that I have been using.

I'm not sure if I'm tying up the zucchini vines correctly but it's the best I could come up with. I had to trim off a lot of leaves and some small squash to make room. Maybe I should cut the leaves off closer to the vine???

Carrots after thinning and watering. I put about a pint of baby carrots in the freezer to use for cooking.

It’s hard for me to tell if it’s right or not… maybe this video could help? It’s only 5 minutes

I trimmed the lower part of the loofah in my raised bed because the tendrils wouldn’t leave my poor eggplant alone

Thanks. That was helpful.

I pulled some more weeds today. This time, out of the sandy soil garden where they almost always pull easily.

Hubby made and I canned some salsa. Home grown tomatoes, habaneros, jalapenos, onions, and garlic. Plus salt, pepper, and vinegar.

I’ve heard of Miyashige white radishes being used as “duel purpose” cover crop to break up clay soil while still having something to harvest so I decided to try. The soil around her is basically straight clay and rock (which tomatoes seem to love for some reason) so I have very low expectations. it is in an unused spot though so nothing really to lose

At the beginning of this year I bought 50, 6 foot bamboo stakes for I think it was $80 and thought it was a good deal. Well 2/3 of them are so badly cracked and split that it is basically unusable outside of potting soil or very loose raised bed soil. They will still get used eventually so it’s not like they are useless but it is still annoying when it decides to split in half while you are pushing it into the ground
