Haven't been able to get on in a while. My old laptop is dying a painful death and haven't been able to get the app to work well on my phone. I'm sure it's user error as far as the phone is concerned. My new laptop was suppose to arrive yesterday, but didn't


Am using hubby's laptop as he is sleeping in. I begged some tomatoes from a coworker and ended up with enough plus the few I got from my garden to put up 5 pints of pasta sauce and 5 pints of chili base. So sad that my garden is not cooperating with me this year.
I want to try the back to Eden method, but so far can't find a source for wood chips. I even went online and signed up to be a place where companies can dump wood chips. Have priced chippers, but they are more than what we can spare at the moment. Now trying to find a friend that has one I can borrow.

My sunflower seedlings seem to have all died in this heat. I was keeping them and the garden watered, but....
I do have another pack that I will plant.
My garden looks really sad. I had to pull out all the zucchini plants Bugs killed them. Out of 3 cucumber plants only 2 are still alive, barely. The pumpkin plants, the surprise plants, are on their way out too. Green bean plants are growing well, but no flowers yet. Tomatoes are barely hanging in there. Green peppers are growing, they just don't have a lot of peppers on them. Replanted kale & spinach, but it looks like only the kale MAY come up. Already planning on how to make next year better. This has been my worst garden in a very long time. I even put a lot of compost on it {LOL, wonder if that some how made it worse?}
