What did you do in the garden today?

I am going to copy your set up! I'm out of room on my drying racks and still have a full bed of garlic to harvest.

I was just thinking the same thing! I have a covered deck and it never occured to me to hang my garlic there. Great idea Smokerbill.

We got over an inch of rain! The weather forecast for the second time in a row never forecasted a drop of rain when we've gotten it. Grateful for it in July. We are usually dry, hot and humid!

I weigh a buck 30. But I think I'm pretty strong for my size. I know my limits but I can pull my weight. I'm 5'4". I often refer to myself as the human equivalent of a Corgi dog. Haha. My spouse is 6'4". I basically have to trot to keep up with him while he walks. But I can trek up the side of a mountain with a chainsaw on my back and a loaded pack; work all day and then make it down in one piece.

Love the attitude! I'm in my 70s, 5'2 and almost 100# and I still say the same things, lol. My house is located on a hill, about a 30* slope in the front yard and a 40 degree slope in the back. Gardens and coops at the bottom. I'm either hauling things up or hauling things down all the time. And I swear its the I can do anything attitude that makes it possible. Keep it up!

You’re probably correct. All the tweaking in the world won’t be able to correct the damage done when those non-merit based hires that sought and found that ‘forever’ federal job are still in the system. A lack of responsibility, accountability, motivation, and care will ultimately crash any system.

are you talking about greek civil servants, lol.

just watering, too hot here.

Today I harvested zucchini, pruned tomatoes, clipped up the tomatoes, watered the clover, played with the chickens, and used the hedge trimmer to cut the grass that was growing over the sprinklers.

My corn is starting to tassel! I can see the beginnings of the ear nodes now as well. Not as many ears as I would have hoped for but anything is better than nothing. I didn't give it enough nitrogen on the last feeding before VT phase.

I also put the cover back on the pool today, cleaned the chlorine generator plates for the pool, picked up dog doo in the yard, pruned the grape vines to feed the leaves to the chickens, smashed two black widows, cleaned up our decorative water fountain that was pretty much just a spiderweb tree. Got the fountain at Costco last year; its the one with the brass colored cups. PITA to clean, but DS and I made quick work of it. Helps that I've only ever used soft water in it.

I played guitar out on the patio for a little bit, went inside and oiled the fretboards on my electric guitar and dear sons electric guitar. Ordered the solar fly trap from Arbico Organics finally today. Been wanting to pull the trigger on that for months. Today is my birthday, so I finally pulled the trigger.

Volunteer seedling mystery solved. One of the chickens' raw sunflower seeds took root but DH was expecting it to be a cucumber plant.

He moved it from the raised garden bed to a pot (above pic) & found this today.

Yesterday I pruned tomato plants. Today I will water the gourds.
