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.

We had .01 of rain yesterday. Big fuss over nothing. Planted pole beans and bush beans. Transplanted Hollyhock starts and native columbine starts. Pic of mulberries. Just a wild one with good taste.

Resting today. Looks like rain anytime. Radar says it is raining. My coneflowers germinated poorly which is normal. Same for Hollyhocks.

I wore out today and took a nap. Then I did some weeding and watering. I ate some mulberries and some sour cherries.

Just the opposite for me. I used to breakout as a kid then something changed. I can run a weed Wacker through it and not breakout.

I used to buy Jimmy Dean sage then could not find it, then Purnell old folks original and now Bob Evans. It seems the stores cater to the pepper lovers.

Turnips gone to seed.

I got some free Titan sunflower seeds with a order. I had to look them up. They can get 14 feet tall. I planted a few.

Should work. I used to spray gourd vines in the fall to keep them alive on frosty mornings.

On Sedges I have yellow nutsedge here. At the cabin I have Pennsylvania sedge. A better behaved sedge IMO. I found large patches of it in the woods where enough light got in. I considered it as a grass substitute. However by the time the building of the cabin was done I needed something in a...
