What did you do in the garden today?

Ya'll here complaining about the heat... Well I have a cold problem! It's been so cold that my tomatoes won't ripen! Wish I had your problems....! :p

Pulled a couple of too close carrots today. They're VERY orange and bright and happy looking. The basil had to be topped as it was blooming again. Brought in another bundle of beans and a zucchini. Also a few more tomatoes, of the few that are getting ripe.

I have a few tomatoes out there to pick, and some peppers. That's about it.
 
We trimmed the herb garden and started drying 2-5 gallon buckets of oregano, thyme, wormwood, mints, basil, sages and lavender. I unwrapped all the apple grafts I started in April. All but one look great. I thinned the apple trees and the twin fawns that have been hanging around came in for a treat. I picked a few and tossed them on the ground to their delight. We had a nice cool front come through this afternoon and it dropped 18 degrees with much lower humidity.
Hey CapricornFarm, cooler weather is heading your way!:wee

I heard we will be getting some cool air from Canada! I am thrilled! We have deer all over the place as well as rabbits, but they all run if they see you. DH found more bear tracks down by the river. I am trying to identify some of the plants around here. I will try to get some pictures.
 
Darn builders are back clogging up the yard! Nothing done again!
Love the deer. BBQ comming on! - The grape vine in the greenhouse is near broken with all the fruit so I am thinking there is going to be wine on the go soon. Waste of good fruit for anything else! lol
I am hoping to get out later and clear away more of the beds. I think I am winning again? The other day My two baby ducklings were out wondering about the garden and then the two chicks decided to get out over the gate too. Hubby thought it was funny cause I managed to grab them and put them both to sleep on the lawn. He took a pic.
