What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I never cut mine. I twist and pull at the base.
I've also never divided mine. I don't want to accidentally kill it.
Mine is a Victoria, which never turns red. You just have to wait for the stalks to be long enough. We're about there.

For all the rhubarb growers... have you ever split your plants? I think I need to split the huge one; it had 3 flower stalks, which I cut off. I'm thinking I'll split it this fall, after it goes dormant.

Rained like crazy here, so I went out to check and the three varieties of bush beans and five pole beans have all sprouted. View attachment 4122801View attachment 4122802

I like how you've got these in pots

no watering due to rain so I can deal with animals. this weekend a friend will plow my big garden so next week will be a gardening week. seedlings in pots are getting bigger. peppers and yellow pear tomatoes are not ready to transplant. corn, zucchini, pumpkins, beans, melons and cucumbers will be direct seeded. okra will wait a bit. soil is not warm enough.

I've got 2 bags of attapulgite and hope it will help with drought.

Forgot - saw these auto water, reservoir system planters at home Depot today, rather larger, 80$ standing height.
I know some make their own, but for those that can't

I saw them at my local Home Depot and took some time looking at it. I was attracted to it because it was off the ground.

I've been putting tree insect glue around my containers to prevent ants from mining aphids on my plants. Its working, the ants can't get to my plants.

Watering the seeds I planted in the hope that this lot or bauhinia (butterfly) trees will survive instead of succumbing to the heat, and the bulbs and seedling flowers will survive till the rains come.

I saw tiny carrot sprouts in my garden today!

Me too!!

Yes. Root was pretty huge. Got it out (they are in a raised bed) and had to use an ax with a hammer to pound on the back of the ax to get through the root. Totally survived the ordeal (myself and the rhubarb).

Thanks! I'll be doing that this fall.

We have such rocky ground here, that I do a lot of potted and raised bed things unless they just have to go in the ground (like fruit trees).

waiting on the dew to dry before mowing. I have Titan sunflower seeds sprouting. A free gift. Need to plant them. Tree frogs singing at night. Chipmunks and squirrels feasting on maple seeds.
