What did you do in the garden today?

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

Hoping it grows back...

On a positive note, the dahlias in my memorial bed are starting to bloom. So pretty... Although they've completely drowned out the glads and daylilies

Thinking more about your potatoes, when I was a kid my grandpa grew a lot of potatoes, several acres at a time. They were always planted close to St. Patrick's day. Sometimes a hard freeze would hit and kill all the above ground foliage. The potatoes always grew new vines after the freeze, so maybe yours will rebound.

I tried to leave as many CLEAN growth nodes as possible... Only time will tell.

Pickles and tomatoes?
Tomatoes need to process for 45 minutes. I use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of canning salt.

I do my cucumbers- pickles- at the end 15 minutes in a hot water bath. I suppose it’s to seal and kill.

So when I do tomatoes- that needs to be 45min in the hot bat?

You must love turnips.
How many years worth of seeds?

@Liz Birdlover , I don't know that it will help you however when I start feeling the way you describe I get a bag of Lays Classic potato chips and drink about 20 oz of water. It's the best thing for me when it's too hot. The hives can be remedied with Benadryl unless you don't take pills. This is just my own opinion.

Good morning all. It has been hot, humid & very hard to breathe the past 3 days here. My neighbor said they sprayed something on the farm field 3 days ago, so whatever it was is hitting me hard. View attachment 3855310
Gray tree frog serenades us every night by ourView attachment 3855322

anhydrous and pre-emergent always knocks me on my butt.
I love the little grey frog. Ours finally passed away. I have NO idea how old he was. he lived in the open end of a piece of window trim. We he died. I filled in the hole. Not that I wouldn't have loved having another one take up living in there, but they're LOUD.
