What did you do in the garden today?

Oh, and my tomatoes and cantaloupe are sooooo far behind on growing. I usually have fruit from both by now. I have a few tomatoes that are just starting to turn pinkish. No actual cantaloupe to speak of, but plenty of flowers... What a weird season this is turning out to be...

Well, my tomatoes are all still green, so you’re fine.

Picked a few more melon cucumbers and fertilized the vegetables.

I've never tried it before! Just looked up what is- it sounds delicious and I'm going to make some! What is your favorite way to use it? Veggie dip? Pita?

Yes, you need to dip your pita in it. You can also make a sandwich with it and pickles, and some chicken breasts. Delicious.

I tried sprouting okra seeds from Hoss Tools in a seed tray with a humidity cover, but nothing came up and I gave up. I saw this video and decided to try again with the same packet of seeds. The only thing I did different was, I used a microwave to heat up the water and filled and emptied the water about 4 times after a minute. I let it sit in the warm water for around 5 hours and placed them in a tray with wet paper towel and covered the tray like the video. I checked the seeds the next day and all the seeds sprouted. A small step for mankind.

Have you considered making an eggplant dip, like baba ganoush?

I want to try this recipe. Thanks for posting it.

Wellllllllll..... I probably should have paid closer attention to the HUMIDITY levels. I did get the weeding done but the humidity was so freaking high that it was like working in a sauna. My clothes were so wet from sweat that they were dripping! And I was covered in dirt and had bugs dive bombing me...

But it’s these small joys in life that make it all worthwhile.

Today I’m thinking of NOT doing anything in the garden, just because. Then again, I have been known to lie to myself. So, there’s that.
