was so nice to be able to get out and not be roasting by noon. i have been doing one bucket of weeds from the gardens inside the fence and then moving on to things needing done outside the fence until i get tired. while inside the fenced garden i also took some time (oh my!) to go through and...

you never know, i may surprise you some day...

did i say that out loud? :) i would do it myself if i had more room and places to grow pole beans. oh, and time, i'd need more time. i also have a lot of other beans that are not purple flowers but i'm quite happy if they do cross and give me purple flowers. since the bees are doing this...

can i answer this one?

shelling out beans and sorting them is my favorite still, but a lot of the other things about gardening i do enjoy too including that it is meaningful exercise that my body pretty much requires.

Nancy is not a cat no matter how many clothes you put on her...

i suspect you are enjoying collecting all the purple flowering beans you can find. :)

humid and hot for today and not much of a breeze, which is making mowing a drip fest but i'm almost done. i had to come in for a cool off break and some water before finishing up. a few more minutes and then back to it.

if they had a cat that would eat all my grass, i would have a cat...

the long garden along the pathway outside the fence had a good sized patch of purslane that was about to drop a lot of seeds that i was able to weed today at last. it's been on my list of things to do for a lot longer than it should have... took out six buckets worth to the weed pile. feels...

and a doggy bag...

Tuesday i had a guy walk out in the road in front of me. i saw him and did not hit him and could brake in time but he didn't even look. not nearly as bad as what happened to a close friend years ago (someone tried to commit suicide on a busy highway and it just happened that CF was there that...

i found one tomato worm so far on the 9 plants we have. it looked like there were one or two more worms but as of yet i have not seen any more damage or worms when i check in the morning so either they are gone or just waiting for another day to start munching again. perhaps some critter is...

if it were a melon you'd know the difference in the smell even if it were grown surrounded by them. the smell won't soak in or transfer and the melon gives off plenty of its own smell. :)

that works well but the problem with Mom is that she wanted to listen to books on cd and the whole process of ripping them to disk and copying them to a thumbdrive would violate copyright (getting them from the library) and take way too long and too much fiddling for me (Mom will not do it herself).

good rains today, puddles are back in some gardens, more rains still possible...

good luck, but so far the only option we have is either to be happy with a single cd player or to find a used one and hope it works. so far reviews of used one sellers are less than encouraging. so my current plan is to hope that Mom will be happy enough with the radio.

got out early to check for tomato worms and weeding until it started raining. glad for the rains, we need them. wasn't sure by the radar and direction of the front if we were going to get much from these rains, but more have come along so that is a help for sure.

... that is some serious rain and cool weather and some beans will probably like it more than others. since you are the first person from Switzerland that i've seen post here in the bean threads you may have some pretty distinctly different weather than what is normal for many of us. i hope...

wow, that's just wow, i love blackberries. :)
