What did you do in the garden today?

[FeatherToes0328]

Helped my 3 y/o granddaughter plant some carrot & radish seed tapes and some cauliflower & tomato seeds in the raised beds. We planted chives, coneflower and forget me not seeds around the trees next to the coop so the chicks may enjoy them. I'm just getting her used to planting, watering and not pulling up everything as it sprouts, lol.

I dug 56 heads of garlic out of the first garlic bed today. They're drying on the front porch right now.

Tomorrow, I'll dig the multiplier onions. The plants are saying they're done, so I need to dig them. I'm going to run out of room on my drying rack on the porch. I have another bed of garlic to dig as well.

I needed a rest and only watered a bit. Bugs are getting bad. I had 2 ticks recently and the chiggers are bad. I wear chore boots outside to stop the chiggers. I got lazy and wore shoes outside and regretted it. The heat has slowed me up.

I went Japanese Beetle hunting again and got a pretty good haul. They're still coming out of the ground. I catch most of them on the tall grass at the edge of the field.

I'd like to think that I'm getting those before they damage anything.

Hunting JBs is on my list of things to do, every day, for the next 6-8 weeks. Free chickie snack. But not all of the ladies like them, so I bring regular snack too.

Cause a lot of them have to deliver Amazon packages on Sundays now too.

Now you did it. Got me started on the shippers transferring shipments to the USPS for final delivery, don’t know what genius came up with that recipe but it’s truly a recipe for ……disaster.
How does this generally go? The shipper, whoever, sends your package to five different locations(passing right over your address at least two or three times), then hands it off to the USPS to be mis-delivered or worse simply lost into the ethersphere, or worse yet stolen.

Noticed a Japanese beetle today on our Crepe Myrtles. Fortunately the blackberries are just about done, and they seem to take the biggest hit out of all the berries and veggies. Doesn’t seem as though the blueberries are bothered that much. Our Crepe Myrtles and River Birch really get hit…..badly

The rattlesnake beans just found the trellis.

And the Blue Lake beans are vining too, in spite of their onion and shallot neighbors.

I saw the first snake of the year making a home next to one of the beds. I didn't get a close look, but it was probably a garter snake.

Ok, I give up. Where’s the snake? Please tell me its there. I rather be thought of as blind rather than stupid.

Yeah it’s awful

So you find the seed tape worthwhile?

Yeah, I engage in fantasies myself
