What did you do in the garden today?

Could be Cosmos.

Oh I hope so!

Got the last of my herb starts in the ground finally! God is watering everything today so not much else to do.

Well, I got most of my tomatoes planted, 12 Romas and 2 that are from last year's Black Krim plant that had bright yellow fruits.

I think I'll plant 7 more in the raised beds, one more of the Yellow Krim and 6 dwarf Romas. I saved the seeds from a Roma plant I grew last year that grew to only 18 inches high and had miniature Roma shaped fruits. I'm curious as to what I'll get with both of my oddball tomatoes.

Mowed and planted solo cup starts of sunflower, squash and cucumber. Planted sprouted green bean seeds. Found a bird planted black raspberry starting to get ripe. Earliest one so far. Worth starting a patch of these. 2-3 weeks earlier than my others.

I don't remember it mention the US, but it was the parcel that for Australia ended up in Austria, then back to Austria and so it went....What most amazing is that it went back and forth so many times...how did that happen? The sort of mistake that one think it never possible, but here it is....so the impossible is not only possible but possible many times over

That’s why my first thought was that the USPS had to be involved.

Had a small group of tomato volunteers that looked great. Nowhere by my tomatoes, so I'm sure they are from my compost I spread. I dug them up and planted them in-between my heirloom tomatoes. Sometimes my heirlooms are finicky and dramatic - die overnight for no reason except a little blight. These will be my surprise tomatoes to replace those heirlooms if they decide to die! Hope they aren't cherry tomato plants!

Thinned out the pickling cucumber plants to around 6 to 8 inches apart. I still need to set up a trellis for them.

I grow my lettuce in one-gallon fabric pots above my White Nile Tilapia tank, it's kind of like aquaculture, but I have to hand fill the base with fish water daily.

I use two parts peat, two parts perlite, and one-part Earthgro steer manure compost and this is enough to keep it green and thriving until harvest. I will start another six lettuce seeds and try to keep up with another six after that. I currently have 12 Manoa lettuce growing in fabric pots, this variety does well in my yard.

I will alternate with a red Manoa lettuce. I call it red Manoa because it looks like a Manoa lettuce, but I don't really know its name.

I took my 3-week-old chicks outside today. I will check up on them in the evening to see if they are perching or crying by the door.

I think I pulled about 10 buckets of weeds today. The dirt is dusty dry. Really hoping we get rain tomorrow!
