July 25 2024

 I had some good dill pickle size cucumbers as well as fresh dill that actually is being taken over by the zucchinis, so made 2 jars of refrigerator dills. I am rather nervous about actually canning pickles.  

We put cayenne pepper on the zucchinis that are growing because I think a raccoon is going after them. The pepper seems to work.

The tomatoes are doing fairly well. Slow to change from green to red but we've had a few.  I really feel sad about the whole compost thing.

Happy about those big heirlooms that Summer is pointing to.

The 4 big sunflowers from seeds have delighted me since I don't know if the hydrangea or the delphinium will survive.  But it is fun to watch the head of the sunflower follow the sun every day.

I have killed some Japanese beetles and they've gotten into the bush beans that Laura F. said they did not like bush beans only pole beans.
