Garden not planted here yet. Some colder, later than normal -- & I'm using that as my excuse for my own tardiness 😂 Since I'm in an area with a long season, not really a problem. Hopefully coming weekend will be garden work time.

@The Porch ... Nice to see you back! News is all 👍 esp for DH Nothing much new here. Last goat kidded, so that's good. Twin boys, that would have been better with twin girls 🤣 but healthy & adorable. They'll sell well this fall.

Porch -- glad to see you posting. Welcome back!

@flowerbug Why the fake coffee???

@frustratedearthmother ... Try this... The best companion plants for squash and zucchini include nasturtiums, marigolds, radishes, and herbs like dill or oregano, which deter pests like cucumber beetles and squash bugs.

@Alaskan ... Saw this ''Deltawide swath of Alaska through Monday, covering regions from the Eastern Alaska Range to the Yukon Delta Coast." And the suggested 5' in some places, only 8-12 in others. 😳 Plus the cold is to drop on into upper 48. So blooming trees & young plants will be hit hard...

Sad -- you have too much rain while so many areas are in severe drought. 🙁 Wish it could be shared.

Shrimp! I accidentally thawed a 2# bag 😵‍💫 wanted some but now it'll be a couple days event! Steamed. Garlic buttered w/spaghetti. Salad. Use it up. 😋 What a way to eat. Nice mistake.

That is so adorable!!! How'd you to ever sneak up on them?!

So it has become a farm day. Friend called & I went to help her, couple hrs later back home. So scrubbed water troughs & refilled with clean, cool water...yeah some fence work after lunch I'm in for. Will just find escapee issues if not all fixed -- leave early tmrw & have a longer day. Goats...

Hot 90 yesterday. Finally cooled to upper 60s overnight. Awoke to several escapee goats this morn, so coffee was brewing but not a cuppa until the goats AND a few fence boards were attended to 🫨😖 Debating -- go to work or stay home for farm day.

Would the shiny strips tied among the limbs work? Of course, some constant breeze helps them to be effective...🥴
