What did you do in the garden today?

Looks like I’m not going to have any blue Hubbard squash. The vines stalled, now they look real dead. Oh well, the watermelons are spreading and same with the Amish melons. I’ll look and see what I can plant in place of the blue Hubbard.

Nothing. Tomorrow I'll set out the peppers....green, yellow, red sweets, pimento and habanero. Hope to get a couple rows raked up and planted with -- ??? LOL Rains come in mid day and stay for FOUR days! OK - good news, don't need to water!

Chased a baby goat out and then put a panel over the tiny little gap between the gate and the post... and picked a few green beans, zucchini and a couple cucumbers. Cleaned out a raised bed that had peas. Spread fresh compost, covered it all with cardboard and wood chips. Will be using that area to add extra tomatoes that will hopefully not be decimated by stink bugs and will produce in the fall.

Yesterday I pulled weeds. I cleaned up an area so I can plant cucumbers. I need to make my spicy sweet pickles!! I also strung hay twine for The Kentucky Wonder Beans and for the long beams from Thailand.

Refurbished an old bed, and added new soil to it. I covered it in plastic and then planted my Hoodoo melons in it. The main garden is still too wet to do anything with it. However, it looks well considering all of the rain.

I went out early this morning and picked 8 quarts of rattlesnake green beans. Left plenty on the vines to pick in a couple of days. This is my 4th (?) year planting from saved seed. They seem to get better every year.

Pulled up a few more onions that had fallen over. Also dug up my elephant garlic. Looks like I left a few too long. They had started to separate.

Planted tomatoes: So far: Pruden's Purple, Sun Gold, Rutgers, Amish Paste. Still have several paste varieties left to plant. Also planted Rosemary and Pineapple Sage, Oregano, and Chammomile.

I have Cherokee Purple and Black Krim. Anyone tried each & any difference? First for me for those.

Also Mortgage Lifter, Big Boys....plus some cherry types...all types I've used before.

Started some Italian paste. Ready to order Amish Paste & Cow Tit......LG how do you feel about your various paste varieties?

Very light misty rain about 6....more coming. This got the soil moist so rest won't crush & run but, soak in. 3 days of scattered.

Transplanted a tomato that I started off another plant, and two more eggplants that I almost forgot about....

I pulled the rest of my onions. Only ones left are the ones with flowers. I'm usually not very good at growing onions, they never get very big. This year I have some really nice sized ones. I'm hoping to save the seeds to plant next year.

I picked a few cucumbers. Used them in my salad tonight. DH doesn't like fresh cucumbers, only when they are pickled.
