What did you do in the garden today?

I don't know why I had that awful reaction to DiGiorno pizza, whether it was packaged that way, or it could've been a nasty brand of pepperoni, did the cook add additional topping with msg, no clue. It made me very ill. I have not even gone near a frozen pizza since then.

I have reactions to pvc, petroleum fumes, ammonia & probably other things as well, from hives to breathing difficulties to just violently ill. Weird, huh.

Not weird. Or I'm weird. I can't tolerate bleach, perfumes/scents, and corn, to name a few.

I have a bunch of little bugs that kinda resemble a baby grasshopper but without the legs,(little jerks bite), and also there's some white butterflies I think are eating mine too.

Leafhoppers?

I got hose run to the garden today. 350 feet of hose. It actually went a LOT better than I thought it would. Now I know which pieces to put where, to make it easier to disconnect when hubby needs to mow around there.

To encourage it to rain tomorrow, I watered.

Same here. I keep watering hoping for rain.

Watered, and discovered there were wax beans!

And two lemon squash.

@PopoMyers, 3 oz of EWO topsets is not very many! I ordered a half pound (I think) when I started them, and I would have remembered if I'd paid $66!!

Think of the money you could have made if you hadn't shared with a bunch of us for free! I harvested a couple yesterday, and they were yummy in my balsamic veggies!

My secret to getting an actual harvest of strawberries this year: bunny poop!! It almost makes me want to keep bunnies. Almost. I'm sure my chickens will produce enough food for my food.

Look at this weird, little, flower-shaped, saucer strawberry!

Today, I reweeded a garden bed, and planted my cucumbers! Shoutout to @Sally PB for the tip on using yogurt containers to help reduce root disturbance when transplanting cucurbits!

Anyone remember last Weekend when I said DH killed a skunk in our garage and I was pretty certain she was a lactating momma?

Well, just found her babies. They are in a den underneath my goat house. There's 3 of them. I don't think they are older than 3 or 4 weeks. Eyes barely open. They are hungry and searching for food or water. I'm trying to coax them out so I can catch them. I have already caught one. I feel helpless... It's going to storm tonight. Probably wet under there and I don't want them to die where I can't get to them. They are about the size of a newborn kitten. So tiny...

We raised tinker and squirt years ago a pair of them.
One of my fondest memories.

I caught the 2nd baby. One more to go

We have a lot of green ones but this is the only gray type I've ever seen. Looks like this little frog is where it wants to be. Go figure. I'm not going to move it again...Considering the effort it made to get back here. Why? No clue. Nature can be so funny at times.

Yeah I was looking for some pics I have of one with winter camo on. Here's a green one instead:
