    I look forward to seeing you in your garden jungle! ❤ If I had the space my yard would probably look the same way! 😂 But I did get an idea on how to reposition my watermelons while watching you. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🏾😊

    We all have such a lot to learn, and the garden is one of the best places to cultivate life learning. You're not just cultivating the soil, you're cultivating mind, body and soul. Thank you for a beautiful beginning to my day. (I too have cucumber starts to plant…)

    Hi Bull,

    Yesterday, when I did my garden walk through, I saw that all off my cucumbers had wilted overnight. They had just started setting fruit. I had to pull them up and compost them. The only thing I can think of is vine borers. That was strike three for the cucumbers. I’ll try again next spring. Vine borers were extremely bad this year, and with all the rain, I couldn’t spray Spinosad this year, not even once.

    I did some long overdue work with the weed-eater this morning, and discovered a half-eaten cantaloupe hidden in the tall grass. I checked my cantaloup bed, and sure enough it was the cantaloupe I was going to pick and eat this morning. The culprit, a racoon. I guess it come with living in the forest. Fox and deer are seen daily on the property. Deer ate my mother’s sweet potato leaves for the second time this season.

    My compost isn’t ready, so I went to the local feed and seed store, and picked up a dozen bags of Black Cow to top of my raised. My cantaloupe and watermelon are bout done. In a week or two, I am going to dig out the raised beds, lay down hardware cloth, and refill them. Then it is shelling pea planting time.

    It is just about time to start seed starts for the fall garden, All Seasons Cabbage, red cabbage, parsnips, rutabagas, broccoli, cauliflower, shard, romaine lettuce, maybe a go with Pak Choi and Komatsuna, radishes, and whatever else I need to fill my pantry. Not carrots though; I have plenty of them in my freezer.
