What have you done today in the Garden?

I watered yesterday morning. Multiple weeks of 90f plus at least means we are not having a lot of fungus. In fact I cannot remember my tomatoes not showing at least some early blight spots but there are none, nada, zip, zilch, zero spots. Bugs are showing up and so I think the virus and bacterial wilt will be this dry years issues. Toward that end I sprayed spinosad and bT mixed with some kelp. Yellow squash are ready to begin picking. Some peppers to if you like them green. Watermelons are as tall as me on the trellis. I hope that vertical idea works out. I still have not found any mesh. I do have some new grow bags though. Too bad they are black in this heat. Tomatoes are golf ball to tennis ball sizes and growing. It wont be long now.

 

Pulled up all the wallflowers in the garden, the only ones that are left are in containers.

 

Weeding onion patches and watering.

 

I downloaded the Open Camera app. It allowed me to reduce the pixels.

 

Well I've not been out and done anything but other half as been well at it...finished doing a 13ft shed, then put acid on the slabs and cleaned them, then stained the decking and jet plastered my parasol and blowed holes through it ...after 5yrs I can't moan

 

How easy is that to use?

 

Logan I've just looked at the app and it carries no adds which is a bonus as I can't stand app with those i'll down load it on my phone but if you go into your play store app on your phone type in the camera app and read what it says about it.

Just downloaded it Logan and it would help you because in the settings it's got photo and video settings and at the top camera resolutions for you to alter..looks a good quick app.

 

I will have harvested all of my bok choy this weekend and will have to pull all of my remaining spinach plants which have gotten scorched by the triple digit heat that has smothered us for two weeks. Those pots will be repurposed to transplant my pepper plants into from their smaller pots. I promise, this is the 3rd transplant but will also be the final one!

 

Removed honey and slung it. Filled a few jars and then began the creaming process for the honey that we kept for ourselves.
Caught that huge mole in the greenhouse--not voles then. On the back of that success, I planted the rest of the toms and peppers in the greenhouse. Pruned the last plum tree. Planted more flowers.

 

planted up tomatoes and peppers in the outside garden. finished up planting the high tunnel too this week.

 

All my vegie plsnts are up & running: beers are an inch high, so are the spinach, carrots, swiss chard. The kale is the giant of the group: 3"! Potatoes are also up, onions are up a foot, garlic is 2 feet tall. We have had radishes, lettuce & asparagus so far from the garden!

 

When my beer is an inch high I usually have my feet up!

 

Thank you Gail, I'll have a look.

 

Went to garden shop and got lots of pots that are throwaway including two 250 litre pots.

 

Started to plant out the pot marigolds around the path and watered the polyanthus.
