What did you do in the garden today?

Dan, cool article about worms.  

[COLOR=333333]I had been thinking about ways to improve the orchard. One of the things I'd like to do is introduce worms. Not red worms, but garden worms. I was thinking about doing an experiment: The next time I have a couple of girls around on a rainy day, I plan to equip them with umbrellas and some cans, then send them out to play in the road. The goal: collect as many worms as they can gather. The plan: Put about 25 worms at the base of every other tree in the orchard. So, one of each pair of a particular species would get worms, and the other tree would have none. Then, note tree quality/growth the following year.[/COLOR]

Yeah, that's been my go to site for worm info for the last 3 years.

That sounds interesting.

I'm in 7 a, but I picked a 12 pound sugar baby watermelon and planted an apple tree I started from seed 2 years ago.

I'm 1/8 shy of collecting an ounce of basil seeds.

Quote: Thanks I thought they should do ok. I try to keep the soaker hose on a drip so the soil will have most and dry places for them.

Picking hot peppers, tomatillos, and basil while watching the late tomatoes forming and all our cool weather leaf veggies growing.
Last thing to add a few beets, turnips, mustard greens, and radish.

1. You still have tomatoes growing?! Mine finished about ten days ago. I miss them already lol. What zone are you in?
2. How hard are the tomatillos to grow? I was thinking of adding them to my garden next year but I'm wondering if they're very picky or require a lot of care to do well.
