July 28, 2022 Hamilton visit and wasps

So this was today.  The lettuce, still a little bit. There was a stupid squirrel in the garden today

No flowers on the Dahlias and the tomatoes not turning red

Cucumbers going up the wall

The transplanted Cosmos are blooming all over the yard

I am putting these in the blue pots again next year

I love how the gladiolas spread and i hope they bloom

Impatiiens still alive

 There were two wasps nests, one in the garden by the porch and one on the ceiling by the deck.

There are 4 zucchini growing.  Really, only one plant is producing a lot. One summer squash.   Weston picked two more cucumbers and there are many going up the wall.

Last night a big storm blew over a tomato plant. I simply must get the bigger pots this year. I will have 100 dollars at Home Depot and have to use by Dec 31

Big bummer about zucchini July 20, 2022

 So far, 4 zucchini.

Have been stung by bees. I delayed getting some benedryl so I have swelling on my leg.  Rushed out to get some benedryl cream.  The hydrocortesone  cream expired about 10 years ago.  Typical. I threw out Claritin was 16 years expired.  

The bulb from P. Allen Smith has come up.

Homeowners insurance has gone up over $1000 from last year.  Our house is valued at almost $800,000.

Very hot, lettuce done. Cosmos have taken over July 19, 2022

 We returned July 15. Debbie had watered but I think the sprinklers were not watering in the morning.  Hence, flowers burned up.  I don't think she watered by the pine tree. 

I will be home the rest of the summer so until Sept 3rd, I can do watering twice a day

This picture does not show the cosmos

Last of the lettuce but I still have some that looks good this week

First two but only 2 others in there. I made the zuke boat today

This is the plant that is thriving. Only one

July 8, 2022 two crops peas. Getting REALLY hot this weekend but we are off

We watched each day as another egg opened but it was all these feathers.  They are starting to look like baby birds.  The parents are going to be so happy that we are leaving for a week.
