What did you do in the garden today?

Found a Florida Weave walkthrough:

I didn't check my garden for a couple days and found a zucchini and a pickling cuke that got a little oversized. The cucumber is close to 6 inches long.

I've always grown the Roma tomato for my sauce. Never a problem. This year I tried the san marzano, got hit by blight and it spread to my slicers, cucumbers, everything. To be fair, I got sick about the same time unable to go spray and treat the plants, so maybe it wouldn't have been so bad otherwise. But guaranteed next year I put the Roma's back in my garden!

I've never had one with blight even with other varieties around it running rampant. Interesting.

Oh yeah and my chickens are molting. At least two are. I found so many feathers in one of their dust bath areas that I immediately went to count chickens to make sure I didn't lose one to a hawk. Then I looked in the coop... You'd think I'd never cleaned it because of all the feathers.

Yep here too. I double counted yesterday. Coop looks like one exploded.

My oldest daughter, when she was young, and I used to drink lemon juice straight up.

How's your tooth enamel? I know a man just in his early 40s who has had trouble for years with weak enamel because of the strong acid of straight lemon juice - according to his dentist.

After a few childhood cavities I have no issues with my teeth.

Control and profit is all they want and, of course, to have you under their thumb.

Like living in an HOA on a grand scale.

Didn't do anything in the garden yesterday. Got outside early, went up on the roof and scrubbed the solar panels. 20% production increase! I knew they were dirty, but I didn't think they were that dirty.

We went up to Monterey to go buy a truck. Dealer had it listed online at the price we wanted to pay.... Got up there and they wanted to sell it with a 9000$ markup in service contacts. We wanted to pay 42k otd, for a 39k truck. They tried to sell it to us for 51K.... We tried to negotiate and give them their service warranty, (that cost them ~1800$)... Plus 1500$.... So, otd for 46K. They came back with 48K... So we had to walk away. Sales guy said he's going to keep our offer in front of his manager and that come the end of the month, he may be delivering the vehicle to us personally. I'm going to call on Wednesday, if they still won't sell, we'll buy a nicer truck otd elsewhere for the same price they offered or the exact same trim, same mileage, for the price we want to pay. Just without seeing it in person first.

We used this website the last 2 times we bought vehicles. Found exactly what we were looking for. The first one in Denver, Colorado where we saved $5000 over buying local including the cost of a plane ticket out to get it. The other we saved closer to $6000 in Louisville, Kentucky. Totally worth the 12 hour drive each way.

Counter full of tomatoes and a garden that I'll pick here after lunch. Temps falling into the mid 50s at night might start triggering the tomatoes to slow down. I noticed the song birds are already leaving and I've not seen a hummingbird in a while.
The tomatoes are late and the cooler weather is early!

And I grow about 60 plants, so $50 each is not possible for me.

I'm thinking about putting some T posts in and then tying cages to it with wire.

I take old 4ft tall about 8ft long field fencing and make a cage. I hang one on each side of a tee post.
