What did you do in the garden today?

[Finchbreeder]

Sorry for you being smoked.
I know I hate it when it happens here.

So, I’m not the only one.

I use them also. I started using clear ones so I can see the roots.

Rhubarb likes it's feet in the shade and head in the sun and rich soil that doesn't hold too much moisture. mine are in raised (on the ground) beds, filled with bagged top soil, cow manure, and compost mixed with alpaca poo. That was 3 years ago. The plant started the size of an orange. It's now 6 feet across and 3 feet high.

This Crimson Red shot up within a month of planting to about two foot tall or so, very lush and full. Then it just started to falter and is now barely poking above ground, it is alive though. The Victoria is doing much, much better.

Have you ever heard of the Red Green show?

Excellent information. Thank you. I have the sun, they're in sandy soil, and I will give them more chicken poop compost once or twice more before winter.

I have only 5 pints of rhubarb jam left until next spring. I'm stretching it out.

The rain forecasted for yesterday evening and this morning didn’t materialize. The humidity went up but no rain. I have a busy morning ahead of me but I will need to water again. I’ll need to start picking my black beans soon.

Humidity = dry rain…….sort of.

Yeah, I thought so too, but that's an Okra leaf..

Yes. Watched it some. Some starts I need to plant.

Oh this has definitely been an OFF tomato year. We were too hot for a while, but the biggie was too much rain TOO often. Tomatoes like warm, but not scalding, and they like to dry out before the next wet. I should be FINISHING canning season this week, and I've only done a partial load, and have one to go today. So one load total so far. NUTS.
