:) Possible rain Thursday night.... if we don't get it, it'll be awhile according to channel 7 news :( I found another watermelon plant, it was under one of the milk jugs that I cover my plants with until they get to big for them....works like a mini green house. I thought it was a cantalope...

Picked about two qts of strawberries from my patch today. Looks like a couple more days and they'll be done :( No rain this way until Sunday. We've been having enough hit lately that I haven't had to water the gardens.....I knew it wouldn't last long.

I have strawberries but didn't do well this year, several things.....weird weather, a mole made its tunnel under them. I should say tunnels! And they need to be separated into rows again,plus the birds are having a blast pecking them...not my chickens the wild birds. Last year I ended up with...

Swampducks we didn't go around that way. Next time we're around Alpena I'll try and remember to stop in there. I like Mexican food! 75 degrees outside right now. Went to feed the animals and noticed I needed to do a bit of weeding.....:barnie now of course the back is sore (had surgery 3 yrs...

Hey Swampducks....DH and I were in Alpena today too. Went to tractor supply, home depot and walmart. No Ac in van either but the ride sure was nice. It was to hot to do anything today. We have no AC in house either. My peppers and tomatoes have blossoms also. Picked a few more radishes...

Exactly what Skip and Dixie would do :) They have a chipmunk by the patio window that torments them now. I also have a couple who eat the droppings of chopped feed that the cows spill out of the feeder. Today one scared the dickens out of me when I opened the door to the roosters coop. It...

Sure did have a thunderstorm tonight! Great for the garden.....it looks like I have a pond out front though.

:frow Hello Bob...WELCOME I didn't start gardening flowers or veggies until after I got married. My folks weren't interested in it I guess. Funny because I can remember my grandmother having a veggie garden and flowers too. So lets see .... been married for 37 years and started gardening...

No frost this morning :ya Weeded the green beans and beets tonight. I need to start back weeding the flower beds....but then I look at the veggie garden and think well I'll just spend a little time here. Doesn't work that way, the little time turns into the sore back and tired bones :idunno

I heard that we should bring in or cover the delicate plants. Heck all my baby plants are delicate! To many to cover so I'll have to keep the fingers crossed. This cool weather today, high of 63 here, has done wonders for my poison whatever. :weee No itching!

:tools Just came in from the garden with some lettuce and spinach. Told DH he gets some fresh spinach tomorrow. He doesn't care for the leaf lettuce but I love it. The cukes I started inside didn't do well so I planted some direct and they are up now. No third leaf yet. Pumpkins, three...

It was a leftover chop that was a bit tough :sick Nobody wanted it. I've been transplanting my irises today. :tools I know you're not suppose to until July - Sept, but mine needed to be put in their own bed. My other plants have been over crowding them and they hardly bloomed this year...

I've been building gates for our veggie garden today. I only had the front of it fenced in so the dogs would know not to go in it. But the cows didn't care. The past two days they have wondered into it. :barnie DH went ahead and bob wired the other three sides. So I wanted two gates to be...
