What did you do in the garden today?

[Birdsong 82]

That zucchini has odd looking leaves as far as color. It’s kind of got like a gray hue to it at first I thought something was wrong and then I started doing a little looking and I’ve never planted gray zucchini And I supposed to look that way apparently. But with the growth of the vegetables came the growth of the weeds. So I guess I know what I’m going to spend the weekend on

I am so upset with eburgess again. They sent me another dead plant.

@Rachel Taylor Garden looks great!

@chickadoodles
That's terrible. Can you return it?

I was watering the sod this morning and a hummingbird kept coming for drinks of water from the stream coming out of the hose. There are two little ones that battle over the feeder all the time too. Funny little guys!

This is the 4th dead one they have sent me. I sent them the pic and the shipping label and asked them to have someone verify the new one is alive before they send me another one. So I will see what happens next...

Oh geez how annoying! I hope they make it right for you.

Thank you so do I. I asked them to please send the replacement asap. So I hope they do so it will make it through the winter.

I bought some others that will be here Tues from a vinyard. I know those will be alive. So at least next year I will have a nice variety.

Chick, are you certain the plant is not just dormant?

Today I did an hour of weeding before I even had my breakfast because it's gonna get hot during midday. I asked my partner G to weed a portion of the garden bed last night and remove anything big. He asked "It doesn't have to be perfect, you just want it plantable, right?" and I was like "Yea". Apparently he and I have different ideas of what "perfect" is because his "not perfect" was my "unacceptable". There were a lot of big (3-4") weeds and thin grass patches still. I have since re weeded the whole thing (I just tilled the top few inches by hand) and next time I will tell him it has to be perfect.

I planted six seedlings today, two tomatoes, and four peppers. I already have four huge tomato plants, in grow bags under my back deck. I strung jute string across the bottom of the deck to provide support because they have outgrown the tomato cages already.
I also had to pull another potato plant up that was a casualty of all the flooding we have had. It had completely withered
