I did get outside today after work. DW planted the radish seeds. I set two 8ft poles 2ft deep in the ground for trellising tomatoes. My brother came by and gave me a hand tacking chicken wire to the fence in two spots I didn't cover yet to keep rabbits out of the garden. Not bad for a weekday.

First iris bloomed today!!! Also got three miniature roses planted...never had roses before, so hopefully I won't kill them!!

Tomorrow, I plan to plant a crinum lily (impulse purchase) and put some feetilizer on the acid-loving plants.

I have squirrels in droves, but no fox squirrels that I know of.... I'm pretty certain this critter was digging in the middle of the night so my guess is an armadillo. Do squirrels come out at night? I've never seen one after dark....

Fox squirrels are, to be fair, an uncommon sight even when I was younger. But no, they don't come out past dusk that I know of.

Well, 115 for daytime high and 95 for overnight lows ain’t my idea of paradise lol.

War has been declared on the weeds! I weeded the potato patch and went back over the everything I weeded yesterday with the rake. Then I mulched around the potato plants with pine-straw. I cut more stakes, hung up the bird feeder and watered the trees, grapevine, and radishes. I’m really impressed with how easy potatoes seem to grow! I’m used to having trouble with tomatoes peppers and root crops so I though potatoes would be a disaster.View attachment 2618597View attachment 2618598View attachment 2618600View attachment 2618601View attachment 2618603View attachment 2618604View attachment 2618606

You know to hill the potatoes right? Also check if the variety you planted is determinate or indeterminate. Determinate you can hill once or heavily mulch and you are all set. Indeterminate you want to hill regularly.

Yep! These are determinate indeterminates don’t have enough time to mature here.
