What did you do in the garden today?

It's 85F here right now, lol. We have a super long season in southeast Georgia.

It's 80 degrees here. Gorgeous weather... If only we had rain.

Bees in the borage!!!! I bet there were 15-20 in that one plant!

All my borage died because of the drought. Yours certainly looks very healthy!

Dropping down to 28 tonight, but the lake might just keep us above or just below freezing, but the mums are on the deep front porch now anyway, with a blankie.
Then back to 85 in two days....sigh.

Frost/freeze warning for tonight. I picked all the habaneros off the plants, because I bet they'll die tonight.

Tomorrow I will plant lettuce/spinach/kale in pots in the green house.

A neighbor told me that if you cut the bottom 2" of a head of romaine off and plant it in soil, it will regrow edible leaves. Anyone ever done this? I plan to get some at the store next time I go shopping. Now I just have to convince DH that romaine is better than iceberg lettuce. That crap is just crunchy water.

Last night when I let the dog out she chased something . It had to be quick to get over the fence before she got it . Freeze warning tonight .

Depends on how big they got . Sometimes I only save a cutting . A larger plant yields a lot of cuttings in the spring . Easy way to get lots of starts for planting out .

They sure do! I trimmed ours 3 times and I gave cuttings rooted and ready to plant to everyone!
I really hate the thought of losing ours...they have been so gorgeous and just thrived in the 2 large concrete containers at our porch!

I feel like the only thing I'm doing is watering every day still...it's awful here.

Got lettuce covered, freeze warning here too. I hate it.

Fingers crossed for everyone protecting plants!

Thanks! It was started by seed in the spring and pampered next to a bunch of tomatoes. Shade cloth and good drip irrigation gave most of my garden a fighting chance with drought and terrible high temps here in KS.

I feel the same about iceberg. My DH and I argue over it all the time because he likes that crap. I get him to compromise and we usually buy green leaf instead.
