What did you do in the garden today?

Do these look ok to you guys? First time trying them.

They look okay to me, but I wouldn't buy them. I would use my left over plastic chicken feed bags instead.

I've been fighting anxiety issues all day. Not even a drive and errands into the city distracted me. This is HORRIBLE! Seriously, this stinks. It makes me feel powerless and a dysfunctional human being.

Sorry @WthrLady, that is just awful.

The bear just stopped by for a visit again. He was HUGE, no babies so I'm guessing male. My little terrier started barking & my neighbor yelled across the fence to me that it was the bear eating at their feeder. My little doggie was gonna take him down.

He's a big boy for sure!

We are all dysfunctional from time to time... you are not alone there. A short YT with some tools that could possibly help...IDK...

I think the ants bring them up the egg plant. I use a small plastic pill bottle with a hole near the top. I put 1 tsp boric acid, 3 tsp sugar, and 3 tsp water in the bottle, cap it, put my finger on the hole and shake it vigorously and put next to the egg plant stem. If I see ants walking up the stem I put tree tanglefoot goo around the bottom stem. I use a small artist brush to apply the goo. I bought it on amazon, the ants that went up get stuck when they come down.

I use a tsp of dawn liquid soap and 1 tsp of neem oil with water in a 25 oz hand spray bottle to kill them. This solution is mild enough for tomato plants.

Thanks!

Beautiful out today.

The blueberries have flowers & the bees have found them!

My pathetic tomato starts. I think they're stunted, they haven't grown at all:

Beautiful! Your tomatoes have new leaves it looks like, hope they’ll pick up the pace!

Wow! What kind of bears do you get there?

If there’s anyone on this site who isn’t powerless it’s you, you’re amazing.

Thanks. I am powerless to control my own brain. Once I scare myself, I can't get out of the downward spiral loop. I get paranoid, and round I go. It truly, truly is terrible.
