What did you do in the garden today?

We had a good rain storm last night. I hope it doesn't cause my garden to go into shock.

I'm making and canning salsa this week so I'm going to pick all my jalapenos and pull up the plants. I've already pulled out three zucchini vines. It's feeling good to start putting the garden to bed for the winter.

89 yesterday and today. 90 is the record both days. Watering some stuff and working on the deck. A fan to help me work. Stopping soon before it gets too hot.

The feral cats have been stalking the wild birds under my feeders. I had a 36" barrier around most of it, but closed off the rest yesterday. The green mesh is about 15" I think. View attachment 3944386
It's more of a discouragement than a fool-proof barrier, but it should slow down the cats enough to give the birds a better chance.

putting 3 ft fence and hope to keep dogs and cats out. not sure about my crazy cats.

Gonna be gone for the next 2 weeks so my garden and all the animals are at the mercy of my kids... At least we've had decent rain this week so everything had a good drink ahead of time.

I am enjoying the humidity in Florida. Plus the almost nightly rain. I'm pretty stoked on life. I needed this vacation more than I knew.

The humidity is a constant here in the Carolinas as well.

I am going to try this roasted fish recipe, once I consume most of the meat products in my refrigerator.

Caught 3 mice in the garbage can trap. No ramp and no roller. They get in there. I found out the can needs to be nearly empty. If I left the lid off with 6 inches of seed they would eat and jump out.

I have most of the tomato/uphill/heavy soil garden cleaned out. I have 2-3 tomato plants still, the peppers, and the marigolds.

Do marigolds reseed themselves? I have plenty of saved seed, and I'll start some next spring, but I need to watch where I planted them to see if any volunteers come up.

There are a LOT of tomatoes on the ground. Several vines of cherry/almost cherry sized tomatoes. Nothing I want to grow again next year. Watery, and very little flavor.
