What did you do in the garden today?

Habaneros are the hottest peppers I have growing this year. I still have no clue what I am going to do with a ton of super hots

dry them, make a powder and give some to the chickens in winter. they will be healthy and lay in winter.

I love dahlias... They are just gorgeous. But I've had little luck getting bulbs to overwinter. I've dug them up and tried leaving them in the ground. With a couple of exceptions, they've simply not made it through the winter here. I've pretty much accepted that I have to treat them as annuals.

Last season was the first time I'd dug and stored them. I had lost most of them the season before, from a very cold and wet winter, which rotted the bulbs. Most of these I bought from a local seller last year. I may not dig them this year, but put a shelter over the bed so it doesn't get so wet, but we'll see.

Nothing whatsoever. I broke my foot 3 days ago so I'm housebound in a boot. I do have some help, especially with watering and harvesting things. I missed 2 days and the zucchini multiplies like they're rabbits. So happy to have lovely tomatoes this year, bound for the sauce pot, and BLTs. My son's sami on a center cut slice of sourdough bread.

43 now. Feels like fall. I will wait for it to warm up a bit. Zucchinis are blooming female flowers. One set without pollination. I saw a chart that said Dunja had 87% of bagged flowers set fruit. It seems my first plant did not have that trait. Late planted ones will not have time to mature seeds for saving.

I got my potash and put some on the squash, we’ll see if it helps. Still watching the melons grow and nervously eyeing the ten day forecast.

Sorry to hear that you broke your foot. Delicious looking sandwich.

I pulled up four aphid infested kale plants and planted daikon radish seeds in their place. I'll probably plant the last of my baby bok choi seeds today too, and maybe some watercress.

Collected echinacea seeds, and watered the orchard. Texas late summer is so dryyyyy.

My husband and I got the run covered yesterday. Our youngest granddaughter helped us. I wanted to cover the run before the rain starts and I don't know when it will but I don't want to try to bring 11 chickens inside to dry out.
