Dark cloudy morning. No rain yet. Overdid it yesterday. Resting.

Mowed. Tried to start the weed wacker for the first time this year. Nope. Likely carburetor so I ordered a carb that comes with plug, air, fuel filter and fuel line. 14.75. Not spending 100 plus dollars at the repair shop for a 200 plus dollar weed wacker.

Surprisingly I do not like the root on this Shogoin variety. I use it for deer food plots, greens and the flower buds like broccoli Rab. It is a all-white root Japanese type with a strong flavor. The plus is it lives through the winter then bolts where purple top does not live through the winter...

I was in the hardware store and seed packets were marked down. 3 packets came home with me. I know you understand. :)

a pound of turnip seed, zucchini, and vining summer squash.

I up potted some native Lupine = Lupinis Perennis. I got 10 plants from the packet of seed. Pulled weeds and harvested more turnip seed. The rain was about 1 inch and should help my beans germinate. I am replanting tubs that have had flowers transplanted. Coneflower and hollyhock.

I made a bucket of doom for fly larva. I forgot to empty the fish guts Monday. Lots of wiggling in there. A little insecticide in there and doom. Some people do a bucket of doom for mosquitos. A bucket some water a few old leaves and 1/4 of a mosquito dunk.

Rain stopped and sun is coming out. I was anxious to see the colors of hollyhocks I started last year from purchased assorted color seeds. I have been down to only pink. Guess what color the first open flower is. Pink. Hoping for other colors. :fl

Finally got some rain. It is odd how some people perceive scents. What smells good to one person is awful to someone else. I had a friend who thought Lilac's stink, yet I love the smell.

Same here. I keep watering hoping for rain.

Took my frustrating cell phone in today. I think they got it straightened out. Was making pocket calls, going to dark screen, turned on flashlight. :mad:

I went fishing yesterday and had a good catch. First 2 hours were slow but then we found a good spot. Some bluegills still spawning. The spawn is nearly over here.

BT works. Zinna is easy to save seed.

Found that a tree I planted this year has been defoliated by bugs. Next meal may be their last.

We have the eastern - Canadensis species. Same color.
