What did you do in the garden today?

[Sueby]

Cinnamon milk: 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 c milk,1 c water. Mix and strain into a spray bottle. It treats powdery mildew and black spots.

Sounds delish, lol, but we don't drink milk so I never have it here - I use Listerine & water for powdery mildew.

Today I was weeding, and making GREAT progress. Then something crawled down my lower back and I yelped and swiped. It was still there, so I was peeling off my sweat-stuck pants and shirt to get it out. I was afraid it was a yellow jacket, as I've seen them around.

I think it was a deer fly, or maybe a regular fly. Not a yellow jacket as that would have been a scream worthy event, not just a yelp.

Even if the neighbor had been in the front yard, I was screened by lots of trees and bushes. At that moment, I didn't care, I just had to get the bug off me.

LOL! I'd have done the same! I have a friend petrified of spiders. If she has fuzz in her hair & you start to lean in to pick it off & say, 'you have...' she is already half way down the road ripping her clothes off. I've learned over the years you just sneak up on her, grab the fuzz & say FUZZ really loud. Or you just leave it.

I have a banana every morning (well, M-F), so I would love to know what else I could do with them besides just put them in the compost!
If you find out what they're good for, please let me know...

I have been seeing recipes popping up a lot lately for a compost tea made of banana peels.

My bottoms are basically shorts. More coverage than some shorts I've seen on kids these days... I frequently go in the yard in my sports bra and 'boy shorts' after I work out in the morning; I cool off, water the garden and drink my first cup of coffee. Though I'm usually out around 7am, my neighbors have likely seen me in skibbies. My thought is that it's my yard... Don't care; mind your own business. If I caught someone staring I'd give them an earful though.

I always say if you're looking, you get what you deserve.

I'm out in the garden this am & DH comes up & says did you forget something last night? I'm like, obviously - what? I left the water on watering the tomatoes & squash all night. I blame him, he put the splitter on the faucet OVER my 'remember the water is on' bracelet that @WthrLady taught me so I couldn't use it. He got my bracelet off, that all won't happen again.

Wow, I just saw this thread and thanks. It made me remember to go in the garden and pick the big cucumbers. I saw through the fence.

Oh I wanted to show off corn we will be grilling- from garden!
Also, these Ball jars my dh got at dollar general yesterday. They come in 4 pack and end up paying same amount as the jars w logo and measurement on side. I hope I don’t regret getting these.

Dang, I just bought another GreenStalk. They have a sale going on & I really like the new blueberry color. & I needed another leaf (smaller but more pockets) for green beans next year. I found a good spot for it in the garden behind the bean trellis where it will get some shade, I find full sun is a bit too much for them. Done, I cannot possibly fit any more.

Ooh, I found a chicken theme Happy July 4th!

We just watered it... Weeded it... Hoping our cucumbers grow. We're waiting for the beans to come in too.

Watering & weeding today, cutting grass, tending to flock, checking for Mulberries, eating raspberries

I want one too but I will restrain myself.

So...where would I click on, IF I just wanted to take a look at it on sale?

 

[Liz Birdlover]

Wow, here I go again, thrilled over the little things...so, I have never personally seen a Pink Poppy with white edges. Have you?
Pretty!

More Poppies popping up

I do see a bit of white trim on the red but the pink has the white edges larger.
