What did you do in the garden today?

Put up 4 pints of dill beans, and 1 quart jar of pickled jalapenos. Cleaned up the beds a little bit more, and starting some kale, romaine, turnip and mustard seed indoors. Just too hot to start fall seed outdoors right now.
Smart to be thinking of fall garden!

I need to do the same thing. I want to get fall kale and collards started and need to find seeds of a good variety of fall cabbage. I think that'll be the last of my planting this year, except for planting garlic in October.

Nice thing is in this weather I don't have to start seeds in starter cells indoors. I can grow my starts outside on the front porch, and use sunlight instead of grow lights.
 
How are the injured today?
I hadn't been on since Sunday and it seems like everyone is hurt.
@jerryse how is your little stroke?
Doing good. Just got home today after 10 days at the lake cabin. 7 1/4 inches of rain in a bucket that was empty when I left. Grass that was brown grew like crazy. I was instructor at the cabin. Grandson wanted some electric outlets in the basement. I sat in a chair and instructed.
 
I watered the buckwheat I planted a couple days ago. A lot of it is sprouting, so I wanted to help it.

We're going to have 90s the next two days. 96° on Thursday. And humid.

We could get some rain Thursday night into Friday. I sure hope so. But that won't cool us of; the forecast is upper 80s/lower 90s for the next week.
 
Tomorrow I'll add some kind of extension to the Blue Lake pole bean trellis. It's only around 5 feet tall. I'm really curious as to how long I can get the vines to grow. My setup will allow them to grow along some ropes another 20 feet or so if they can reach that far.

I think I have a couple each of pollinated cukes and zuchs in the garden. Male flowers have started to bloom.
 
Are you growing buckwheat for a cover crop or is it something you eat? Or feed to the chickens?
Just as a cover crop. The first frost will kill it. If it blooms, so much the better! The honeybees can visit the flowers.
