Well, in pain but did some work. Finished the tomatoes last given and now I have 11 tomato plants down and 15 bell peppers plants. Hub put 2 t-posts at either side of each row. Wondering whether use twine or wire to make the trellises.
The Sweet Spanish onions were still there this morning, 🤣


Used pine needles to mulch around the outside of the garden. I also covered a part where I wanted to plant sweet corn but might wait until next season.
After reading here, might need to up that safety net to a fence with t-posts at about 7ft tall to detter animals. I do not know how to hunt animals. I do like deer but don't want them around on fear of a predator after them that might go better for an easy chicken meal. Rabbits, I think I would not dear to eat.

Had a buny in the backyard this morning doing a strait walk towards the garden. But left my mini dog out and she ran the darn animal out of the property,lol Hub came out of bathroom asking what was going on and I told him to get the dog from the front of the house where she ran after a rabbit,lol That made my coffee taste better with a few chuckles,lol

And of course, had a full blossom on a chicken garden, 😆

My peas have flowers! And one cherry tomato is turning. My potatoes are also flowering, things are moving along. With the summer solstice right around the corner, I am happy to see things moving along.

More watering. No apparent negative effect of the heat. Looking good....I might have spied with my little eyes some squash blossoms starting

More blackberries, my wife said she canned them whole in ultra light syrup because "you don't need all that sugar". I think we have enough blackberries put up for the year now. Elderberries are looking like they are next, she has silicone molds for gummies.

And tonight's garden pix....radishes sprouting, cukes blooming, and squash/zucchini almost ready.

Had a great 3 hour rain shower, the garden looked too perfect to trudge through it

I've always found it enjoyable to watch the graden being picked by someone else besides me.

My wife likes her row of sunflowers. I didn't even thin out the row. Just seeded a trench and backfilled. Ofcourse the squash have found them, starting to climb and are setting butternuts on them, opps 🙄 Honey bees have been enjoying the sun flowers and the pollinators needed section of the garden, so I guess it's good to have them together. Squash just grew more than expected this year. It doesn't always happen that way.

I didn't grow any cucumbers but here they are. Where did they come from? Probably from a neighbor repaying me for sneaking some cabbage on to their porch. I will repay... I ain't done just yet.

I overheard my wife saying something about zoodles (sp?): zucchini noodles. I'm burnt out on zucchini and summer squash. But she makes delicious zucchini bread. Maybe these zoodles might be ok?

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸
