What did you do in the garden today?

I forgot to write down which side I planted the spaghetti squash & what side I planted the tromboncino on, so not sure which this is, but it's the only plant with it. Kinda cool looking. (it's not powdery mildew)

I found a cute little bee waterer, it has marbles in it.

My bush bean tower look so good. Getting flowers now. Edamame on top.

@Wee Farmer Sarah, my oregano loves the spot. I guess it's my oregano garden now.

I'm going to try digging up the sage in the next couple days, thanks.

Make sure you get around the whole root ball. It's best to wait until the plant goes dormant for the year. Depending on what kind of sage. I have several that do not ever go dormant, I totally murdered one moving it, a pineapple sage.

ETA: looking back, I think I accidently murdered that plant because I didn't water it enough after moving it.

I have successfully moved a blue sage while blooming.

Today I went out to check on my Butternut Squash plant because I finally got some female flowers starting up. They had not opened up yet.

Today, they are starting to fall off the vine. I know it is not a problem of no pollination because the buds weren't anywhere near to opening. What could be causing this?

The vine is still growing just fine.
The weather has been in the high 80s here.
The plant gets deeply watered everyday, sometimes twice a day because the Texas sun dries it out fast.
I prune off any extra male flowers and I take off lower leaves that are dying off after being there for so long.

Not sure about your laws but I would be in trouble if I told them I offed a animal out of season.

Arkansas is not so rigid. You always retain the right to protect life and property. The skunk was getting into my eggs and looked like it had distemper or rabies. I now realize she was disheveled and unkempt because of where she had her den.

I've already spoken with a wildlife rehab provided by Game & Fish. She is coming to pick up the babies this morning. If I can get the others, I will bring them to her later.

I found out my pickling cucumbers would have cost over $45 in store!
Got all my dill done and have started sweet - in lime bath!

A few pictures of the things growing around here. My lemon and lime are adjusting to life outside. The peppers and celery are still covered for now. Everything has wire over and around it to keep all the dumb cats from getting into it all. Severe weather chances tomorrow... I'm praying it doesn't get damaged.

Look at all those containers! Awesome

Rain stopped and sun is coming out. I was anxious to see the colors of hollyhocks I started last year from purchased assorted color seeds. I have been down to only pink. Guess what color the first open flower is. Pink. Hoping for other colors.
