What did you do in the garden today?

Hello, I just got charged for something from FS stormproxies 877-3278914 CA, I called my credit card fraud department to report the charge. This number says to go to ssprg.com to dispute the claim, but the site tries to sell you other things. My bank canceled my credit card and will give me a new one and will investigate the merchant. Just thought I share this with this board.

Don't ever buy those adjustable glasses you see on Youtube, it is made of cheap plastic and doesn't work as claimed, no 20/20 more like blurred vision. This is where it all began, the website tricks you and charges you for 4 glasses. I had to call them to make the correction and get a$99.95 credit card refund.

This was the last purchase I made before FS stormproxies started charging $94 and $101.37 subscription.

Thank you for the information about this scam. I had to have my bank deny all transactions from Amazon because they were charging me for books I didn't order. So the online shopping always causes me to feel stressed and concerned.

I just had to cancel a subscription for a channel on Amazon Prime video that I don’t remember subscribing for. I think I did the free trial and forgot to cancel maybe. But I can’t afford any extra subscriptions plus didn’t mean to subscribe anyway. Even though it’s only like $5 or $6. That’s an extra bit I don’t have so it said it would refund me.

Pulling weeds today before the next heat wave hits. Picked two pumpkins, a pink banana squash and a summer squash. Saved seed from one of the sweet success cucumbers that set before the vines died. Had fried squash at lunch.

I trust amazon, I buy most of my stuff from them. Most of my bad experiences are from companies that promote their products on youtube. Most of them turn out to be gimicks or traps. Now that I think about it the shady companies all used paypal. I don't trust paypal.

Someone earlier in the thread was asking what to do with her ground cherries. Today I made vanilla cupcakes with a gingered ground cherry filling piped into the centers, and topped with vanilla frosting and sprinkled with brown sugar. They were to die for!

Sounds yummy.

I weeded the raised bed that had carrots and peas...I'd let it go fallow since I harvested the last of the carrots. Look at the soil level:

I threw in some partly rotted grass clippings and shredded leaves:

Then topped off with fresh clippings:

I need to turn it under, but I ran out of steam.

Maybe tomorrow?

I picked more cherry tomatoes, a few SM tomatoes and my first brandywine. I won’t be planting them again. I also picked 2 leeks that were asking to be picked. Then I picked the little ears of corn that had brown and dry silk. The kernals were very small but they’re edible. Still no summer squash developing but I finally saw cucumbers developing. I’m giving the limas a few more days to fatten up before picking more. Worked on leveling the gate posts earlier, I finally got them where I can attach the gate. Yay! Had to shift over to grass mowing. Our Labor Day cookout will be Sunday so the girls can get ready for their first day back to school on Monday. Monday is for prepping and winding down. School starts on Tuesday.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about the eggs but I am so happy that I have the BYC family, friends and community to help me with the process.

Oh ya, they get bigger in a hurry.

I spent about 5 hours weeding in my heavy soil garden. I pulled about 8 tomato plants that are done, and then started digging up the crabgrass that has invaded. I think I'm between 1/4 and 1/3 done.

I saw an orange habanero. Making salsa is not far away. I'm ready to get that project underway.
