What did you do in the garden today?

Just spent two hours taking the UV degraded plastic off the hoophouse. OMG what a mess. Tiny shards of plastic everywhere. At least I got to it before it was even worse, or windy. So there is that. I have pieces that are under structural bits that needs razor trimmed off, but another day. Not even the re-enforcement string inside of it held up to the sun. Incredible.

There are some days that working in the rain was preferable to the heat.

Lots of wind and rain coming this week. Hope the garden makes it, tomato plants are happy definitely getting bigger. Got stung by a wasp today cleaning up the yard.. that hurt. Glad I heard about afterbite from this thread, it does work!

I use RatX, it's deadly for rodents but safe for everything else. Seems to work really well.

The loofah has gone crazy... Spread across an arched 16 ft cow panel, then across a 10 ft chicken run, and now trailing over the top of the bachelor coop....

A couple of nice baseball sized Sart Roloise tomatoes growing in my 5 gallon bucket.

Good early morning gardeners. I’ve been quite busy lately. The forecast was for really chilly overnight temps near the 30”s the other day so I picked everything from the garden that was frost sensitive. I still have turnips, kale, chard and carrots growing. I haven’t pulled any plants so since we didn’t get a frost I may get more okra. The prep table/ island in my kitchen looked like a Farmer’s Market after I sorted everything out. So I’m up to my elbows in processing vegetables. Last night I made a big pot of vegetable soup using my home grown vegetables. I still have peaches to process. I’ll be making a batch of spicy peach salsa and another batch of peach preserves. Hopefully that will keep them out of the freezer which is packed. On top of all that I’ve been catching up on the mowing and working on adopting a little sister for my dog Max. If they get along at today’s visit we get to bring the little sweetie home this afternoon. I’ve turned on my pellet stove already. It’s in the sunroom and that room gets really cold over night. The pellet stove only comes on for a little while to take the chill out of the room. Time to get started on morning chores. Have a great day all.
