Update. I had bought and ate a whole 10# bag of shelled sunflower bird seed. No issues. That was 10 years ago.

Got some bigger, used pots for up-potting. 🤦🏽‍♀️ lost the seed pack of the sunflowers i bought... Found a pic with just enough clues to figure out it's "dwarf incredible sunflower". So, going to repot them.

4-9yrs for native persimmon trees to fruit. Hmm, I wonder how long these have been here. Height of 30-80 feet, spread of 20-35 feet. Well, these near the house definitely can't stay long term! Wonder if they can be trimmed to stay small...Big one is 10ft or so from the porch.

Mowed around the garden, it was getting ridiculous. Lol Hmm, is that how heads prestart? Idk, but they're finally doing something besides being huge. Lol

First day of June, hot! Peppers exploded in growth. Definitely doubling the spacing next year... Carrots Potatoes Tomato forest lol Strawberries. I hate how they need yearly thinning and replanting to get berries. Going to find some other way to plant them. Maybe long, shallow planters up...

Put up a bit of shade for the cauliflowers, since it's 85-90s. 2 of the 4 cukes are happy.

Had to put up shade. Way too hot out to work otherwise. Then found rocks and plastic in the "dirt". Got them potted up! They'll move to full sun soon.

Got all of the plants out of the dining room! Got 25 iris, mostly in the black bin. Should be the 3 colors below. Got more dirt stuff, better be enough, cuz I'm not buying more!

It really is. These are understory trees, not sterile fruit farm trees. They'll survive or not, no reason to baby culls.

For how rough that was, they're bouncing back better than I expected. Under the porch for bright light, but shaded.

Hedge cuttings moved to full sun. Gotta figure out where to plant them. Some other cuttings growing. Gotta pot up the little trees. Maybe repot the tropical mystery plants while I'm at it.

Small pumpkin, 2 funky pumpkins and 2 mini pumpkins. Got three 20gal bags ready and then planted them this morning. Husband bought onion seeds. Way too late, but planted them anyway. We'll see what happens. Pumpkin locations. Going to have them grow along the fence. Gotta move this stuff...

Two sunflower bins, one wildflower mix.

"50-70 days after transplanting outside." Ugh, cmon! Are there early maturing ones?? The heat jumping this week is making me so paranoid... Beer bottle is from trying to catch slugs. Caught nothing.

I'm not growing hundreds of them to produce tons of fruit, so the grass is fine.

Idk why I didn't think of it sooner. Putting up a mini wall blocks the sun from baking the pots and drying them out! Duh!

There's got to be better drippers or filters! They're always getting clogged. There's filters at the spigot, out at the end of the hose to tube joint and barrels have them on the spigot. And house has filters. Every 2wks or so, I'm out there blowing to gunk out of the 30 or so drippers.... Ones...

Got the 4 medium beds mulched with wool.

4 are indoors. One has put out a leaf! 156 potted, about 39 seeds left.
