    Potted up some wallflowers into big pots and put some daffodil bulbs that i had in small pots into bigger pots.
    Also watered the tubs and baskets, then it poured down with rain.

    Such clever gardeners I converse with. And all I do is plant, weed,
    pick!

    Dianne, I too lost track of fellow gardeners due to not getting the
    usual email reminders. That happens once in awhile for some
    unknown reason.
    Our bumper crops are cucumbers, beans, yellow squash, zucchini.
    and finally plenty of tomatoes. (We have shared everything except tomatoes which we can and eat and eat and eat.)
    The ground had been dry and I prayed for rain. Careful what we ask for, it came in a storm, but no damage. I'm thankful.
    All you gardeners, your hard work looks great.

    We’ve got rain today, just like the weather app said we would. We planned for this.

    Yesterday we harvested toms and beans, soooooo...
    Today we are processing the goods.
    Two big pots and two smaller pots of the tomato concentrate— our first concentrate of the season ! We are chuffed. I have now reached our limit for the haricot verts.

    Yesterday cut the the grass in the back garden and did the edges, then did some weeding under the plum trees.

    I have 3 plum trees, 1 Cesar that is a good performer usually, 1 Victoria that does well some years and 1 opal that isn't very good at all but this year all of them didn't have any fruit, but they did have blossom, it was a late frost that did it. All the trees around here didn't do well at all, even the apple trees.

    Sjoerd, great work as usual, you and your Bride!

    Logan, clicking the "Like" doesn't mean I'm happy about your Plum trees.
    All I did in the garden today was looking about in case anything needed picking. Oh, not true! I pulled a few little Green onions.

    Worth mentioning here as I "like" a lot of posts. But with me it is just a way of acknowledging that I've bothered to read it. So if the post recounts a bit of a misfortune, it doesn't mean I'm pleased about it.

    Right Riley— that is the way I mean it as well....that I acknowledge the post, and sometimes accompany the like with a comment.

    My first day I felt I could do some Gardening..Leg looks ok but was very scary and still worried it will do that yuk thing again..
    Dug over my veggie bed again...Still get annoyed every time I look at it with the constant growing grains....We collected free well rotted manure a few years ago now from an Andalusian Horse Business.
    The people were very nice and we went back a few times for some more manure.. and even purchased in a poor state of repair to renovate an Old Cart for around 100 euros..


    We got to see closeup the beautiful Horses and their Fouls.
    Yes,,,,, never thought about the consequences..
    The only way I am to beat this growth is keep digging it out...Cover it during the Winter Months with a tarpaulin
    Well happy with what I achieved ...regardless of that annoyance...

    That's ok Growingpains we should have more options.
    I agree with @Doghouse Riley it's just acknowledging them.

    Riley, Sjoerd, that is why I too click Like, simply acknowledge. Then I begin to think, should I "Like" something negative? That's me, always explaining my actions.
    Dianne, those horses are amazing. Thank you for sharing their at.
