What did you do in the garden today?

I caught another toad. I got 6 yesterday
 
I started using a plain mosquito repellent I make and it has really worked for me. Vanilla essential oil (the cheapest you can find) and water.. I just use a super small spray bottle..add some essential oil and fill rest with water shake and spray. They were awful and now have gotten bitten only once and it was in my forehead where I didn't spray!
I remember hearing that Avon Skin so Soft was a good mosquito repellent. Don't need it here. No skeeters. But there are a few little deer ticks out in the woods.

The tomatoes and peppers I treated with lime aren't looking any worse, so that's good. I don't expect them to bounce back and grow like crazy but if I see them greening up and growing a little I'll be happy.

The peppers I grew from last year's Hatch pepper from the grocery store must be more tolerant to acidic soil. They've made quite a few pretty good size peppers so far in spite of the soil quality issue, but the plants are still stunted.
