What did you do in the garden today?

It finally rained here a few hours ago but it wasn’t enough to soak the ground:

We have rain, glorious summer showers.

Will definitely need to weed today, was going to this morning by myself but not in the rain.

Tomatoes turning, saw one male squash flower, peppers coming and strawberries just going from green to pale pink.

Just planted 2nd round of carrots and going to pull the final rhubarb (thought it was done but it isn't)

Hey I got to thinkin as I was harvesting herbs last night for dinner...could this be rosemary yall instead of sage like I was thinking?
I know I had an awful time getting lavender to sprout and I reseeded several times. And I believe I might have done the same with rosemary lol?

That looks like rosemary to me.

One thing about walking onions... Like asparagus, where you put them is where they ARE. Think of them as a perennial crop, and plan on dedicating space for their forever home.


May 6 is World Naked Gardening Day.

I’m going to put that on my calendar for next year.

Morning . Skeeters are fewer plus dragonflies hatched . They say they eat skeeters . Ever wonder if fly traps work . Yes but attractant effectiveness varies between brands . I had a low blood sugar of 53 yesterday . Left me wiped out . They have me on Jardiance for my heart but also lowers blood sugar for diabetics . View attachment 3161456

Wow, that’s full of flies? What bait do you use?

Be careful with your sugar please, that sounds scary!

I need to reset the 4x4 sail post. 2 feet deep wasn't strong enough for the 6 feet above ground. I need to go down at least 3- sigh.
I'll get supplies tonight and do it Sunday. (hope the post stays up through our thunderstorms tonight. Maybe all brace today.)
@TJAnonymous I'm right there with you with the itchy tomato rash. I pruned last night right before showering, fed the mosquitoes while I was out there, so there's that.
Shade cloth is definitely helping with the leave curl here. Previously I only had cloth up on half the garden. All those plants are robust. The cloth free are thin, stress, and curled.
Drove to the airbase for the semi-annual grocery trip there. 80 minute drive turned into 2.5 hours there and 2 hours home INSANE traffic, road closures, detours, stop and go men, and pilot cars. I almost lost my mind. I was afraid we were going to have icecream soup for dinner, luckily the coolers pulled through. What a waste of gas. Sat for so long one place we turned off the cars and just opened windows. OC I am paying for that with my allergies today.

You’re so sweet to feed the skeeters

I’m finding it interesting that so many folks are using shade in places I never thought they would need it.
