Big pot in a sunny room with supplemental light and have a nice big houseplant this winter.
What did you do in your garden today?

I think she should change her name to GreenThumb. Yep... that's what I think.

60s is perfect, 70s is warm, 80s gets tougher and i hide more. lucky right now that nothing needs to be done right now in a hurry. waiting for the fog and dew to burn off so i can get out there and check on things and then back at it.
breezes certainly help.

sadly, it may not really do much at all they need a lot of light to be productive plus pollinators (so you'd have to do it by hand if the bees or other bugs aren't up to it). putting it outside would do it in the first frost.
the squash here are winding down now and some are even ready to harvest but i'll let them cure outside until we're due for some frosts.

Feel bad but outside will go. Need to put the garlic and the onions in soon. Just dragging the garden work at all cost.

Not feeling well. Need to lay and see what happens. And so much to do outside and inside is not even funny. I think winter is going to get me naked. Meaning not fully prepared.

Thanks everyone. Got up and pucked all of my mess. Worked on the dried herbs from the garage. All in bags and in the freezer. Then let the animals out,had an intercalation with hub and just didn't fell like cooking. Got the babies in and someone was in front door, so walked around yard and heard the neighbors kids saying to another kid that they can look because there are holes in the fence. So I asked them to look for what? And they ran away. About had it with them. So attended to another neighbor that walked to me to bring us a handmade card. After that, I told hub to just follow me and keep his distance while I had a conversation with neighbors. Did not walked into their property. She came out nicely and I told her that if her hub was home I would like to talk to both. She got him and I told them that I am a veteran and that there is nothing negative on my records. No alcohol, no drugs ever. But when I moved here they were very welcoming but since I told them about a privacy fence, things went south. However, the reason of my visit is to make you aware about me seeing they children with binoculars and that in the afternoon they were to look into my property. He went bipolar on me again and said he was not going to deal with nothing with the kids and became completely irrated. I told her that I had checked with the Stare police and that is a misdemeanor. That all I wanted is for then to explain to the children about invading other people's privacy and unfortunately seems like it will be up to her. He turned around and said that I was illegally having animals in my property and lights that interrupt their children sleep. I said that I was withing the county law and he screamed at me that I need 5 access and that I can only have 5 chickens. Well, I have my papers that say that I can have all the poultry I want as long as I provide suitable living conditions and that the light is not illegal but provided by the electric company and that I will protect my animals from anything and anyone. He left cursing up a storm and I told her that I was sorry that she has a bipolar husband so that next time I will make a full report to the authorities. He screamed back that I should move to a farm so I told him back, I live in rural country and if he wants, I will buy him out so he can move.

By the way, the reason I asked my hub to stay watch is because that man has come to talk to me with a rifle in his hand.

Dang, uncooperative neighbors stink. Why we don't have any on our property lines except DHs parents. Sorry you have to muddle through this.
