What did you do in your garden today?

[Logan]

Definitely not, abandoned dogs and rescue ones are totally different.
Rescue Trusts meticulously vett both potential owner and dog to make sure they both match, not just in temperament but also environment and lifestyle too

Yes i agree the trusts do vett the owner and the dog. But i know someone who had to take the dog back to the Dogs Trust. She was alright for a few weeks, then she became aggressive to other dogs.

That's the problem, not knowing the dog's history.

Sam is fine with people and children. But when they got him he didn't like other dogs. Maybe he'd been bullied by other dogs as a puppy. Or had to fight to get any food. But they took him to dog training and he's much better now.

When he arrived he was happy for any food, but now wants all the food for himself. My best dog was a rescue, her first owner bred her, left her outside in a kennel, and then moved away when they couldn’t sell all the puppies. We have taken in strays all my life, some work out, some don’t.

More weeding to do but the patch is looking healthy.

Blackberries are starting to come in. There will be several gallons this year I think.

Finished pulling up the rest of the wallflowers, now weeding where they've been to put the pot marigolds in.

Pulled pulled pulled pulled pulled grass all day. Cut the yard for a back break moment. Applied Mycostop and sulpomag to the dear planties.

My sister brought over some tomato, cantaloupe, and watermelon plants. I got them put in

Thinned the kale seedlings, potted up some verbena a neighbor gave me. Potted up 12 /1gal pomegranate trees to sell later. Watered everything. Weeded some in the 3 raised vege beds, prayed to the Meyers lemon tree for more blossoms since a freak hail storm broke off all of only 4 blossoms last month. Worked outside until mosquito:30...came inside for the night.

Went out to check on a mystery sound, ended up not finding it, but my guard cats were there to protect me just in case! Then I snapped pics of various flowers, and the moon. I’m not seeing a post I’d just tried to make. My sister brought over more tomato, cantaloupe, and watermelon seedlings, I got those planted after dinner. I hadn’t planned on adding more plants, especially tomatoes, I’ve already got like 6 plants.

JamieB. Yes you did manage to post this.


Love the pics.

Planted some pygmy pot marigolds under the roses, got over a 100 to plant but i need a lot.

Here's some of them.

All the tomatoes (32) and peppers and eggplant got cages today. Then ran a weedeater around the yard to finish yesterdays lawn cutting as the tropical storm predicting vast rain is slow to show up!

 

[Jo Gandara]

Potted some patio tomatoes and built 3 long bins to plant 200 ginseng seeds, now to just water and wait. Ginseng isn't supposed to grow in my zone but I'm hoping they don't know that. Had to make moveable bins incase I need to adjust the sun exposure. Fingers crossed.

Oh do tell about ginseng. Maybe post in the right forum and link back here?

My mystery lilly bloomed! It’s pale pink! So pretty! Sorry it’s upside down. I have today and tomorrow left to get things finished set up before I’m gone for two weeks, and I work both days.
