Not really, maybe a little hoeing but that's it. I saw some vole holes today so I'm wondering if they've made some tunnels into the rows that I can't see. These are the tiny voles, the size of field mice.

The 'Nomad' pepper. Possibly the best pepper I've ever grown. I actually haven't had one in the ground I think since 2021 or 2022. Such good breeding went into this variety! I believe it's selected from 'Gypsy', the hybrid pepper. This one is quite immature, but it was a bit small when it...

We've had a pretty hazy summer here too. Not every day, but quite frequently for days at a time. Wonder if this is a problem for some of them...

Sorry to hear that @Blue-Jay. I'm also experiencing some losses this year with beans suddenly dying on me. I don't know what it is, they usually start by the leaves yellowing then wilting and then simply drying up and dying. Sometimes they're wilting first with no immediate yellowing. The...

My dog loved chewing dish towels through that phase!

The Four O'Clocks are officially blooming! They smell soooo good too. 🌺 I plan to save the roots to plant for next year, so maybe I can get them to bloom earlier. I bought a package of seeds that were supposed to be all marbled flowers, but so far some of them are also pure pink. I like them...

Found some pods today! ❤️‍🔥 The season is 30 days late this year, so I'm celebrating every win. Most beans are still flowering and have only itty bitty beans. I'm just so happy to find some beans!! I am so thrilled with the pink of network bean 'Pink Tenders'! 💗 'Black Snake' 'Ryder's...

Apicture of the 'Nakhodka' Russian sunchokes, which are increasingly massive in size. The varietal differences are starting to really show in the foliage of each variety. 'Clearwater' even has a slightly different plant structure, with a top like a pine tree while the others are more like...

Please check for sewer grates too while your at it. ;)

Well...I hesitate to even say it and jinx myself.... but I think since my last impromptu fencing job with various pieces of fencing wire I had around I think I may have finally gotten the rabbit to move off. Hard to say for sure, but I haven't seen signs of him since he ate the Helios bean...

Very pretty poppies. I doubt they're Shirley's though because this variety is known by it's characteristic diversity of colors and petal/flower types. These look more like corn poppies.

The many faces of the Shirley poppy. It hardly seems worth the bother to plant them since the blooms are so remarkably brief, barely more than a day. The flowers are extremely delicate and fussy too. The color lasts in a patch only because the blooms open in succession. But the diversity...

@Marie2020 - his name is Prince Charles, lol. I dunno about that.

Which currant variety are you growing @Pulsegleaner?

This is good to know @Ridgerunner, thanks for sharing this. I may have arrived at that conclusion prematurely. Last year, early in the season, I had a rabbit nibbling stuff and had a couple traps set out for a few weeks with every tempting item of food I could think, and covered the largest...

Runner beans are really running! I wonder where they'll go when they get to the top and it's only crossbars? Will they just fall on top? Weave through? I guess I'll find out! If they aren't happy with the trellis as is I might lay some wire mesh across the roof for next year. I hope this...

Well, progress report on the front yard mostly edible landscaping project. It's getting closer to where I want it to be, but still a work in progress. The perennial poppy & delph foliage is dreadful, but nothing I can do about that really. It's just the way it is if I'm going to rely on them...

This video was doing the rounds big time in dog training circles a little while ago. I find it both hilarious and educational, most of us would do well to have dogs that look at us the way all the dogs here look at this - surprising - alpha male pack leader. Spoiler, a lower ranking pack...

Will the puppies be siblings?
