    I think that your penned-in plots look very good. I do not really find them messy. I will be interested to hear what your final assessment will be Re does it all work for you. Visually, it appears that things are going well in there.

    Cayu— yes she has. She gets meds and we are waiting to see how it goes. She is weaning off the meds now…so things are improving. Just so darn slowly, for her and me. She went to the lottie today and I put her to work picking beans and blueberries.

    Oh good. Sun, fresh air, the Lottie.

    BTW I have been hearing about soaring temps in Netherlands, France Germany, Belgium.
    @Sjoerd & @Odif are your towns & gardens okay?

    No a/c at home. We do have ceiling fans and other small space fans. I am almost dreading going to bed, but must because we must head out early to go to the gardens.

    Extra early to avoid the heat, I'm guessing.

    Hybrid bunching onions with their collars.

    What do those collars do, Cayu?
    Cool that you take their temp. You’d make a good allium nurse.

    @Sjoerd hope that your Bride gets better soon, I know what it's like to have a bad back.
    It's cooler today so back to normal in the garden. Potted on some more wallflowers, watered the blueberries and plants in the garden and picked a lot more fruit.

    Ta Loggie, I will relay your nice words.

    Did more watering. And went back home and processed more beans.

    DW picked the garden so I washed things up. Steak and roma and cherry tomatoes and yellow squash and okra and peppers mainly. I use a little vinegar in the water to help things keep better on the counter.
