Working nights and weekends helps. I kill most of my free time in the garden. Judging by the large number of boats going by headed to the river, most of my neighbors have other hobbies.damn... nice garden indeed...

My zucchini has been in the ground three days now. Should be taking off soon..
I've got several bushes of golden raspberries,, this is the third year, the last two years they never produced any flowers.. hopefully this year I'll get berries off them

I've always known that as a hula-hoe. Great for weed abatement.I love my stirrup hoe. You should get you one.

I'm getting ready to murder some chickens. I've had to plant new pumpkin seeds and replant tomato plants due to the little bitches tearing everything up. Their only saving grace is that they provide delicious, fresh eggs daily.
My hempy bucket tomatoes are doing well. Not a ton of growth yet, but they're healthy and no doubt getting established, so I should be seeing good growth soon. Wrapped the buckets in reflective insulation to mitigate light penetration and hopefully keep the heat down a bit.
I only wish I hadn't gotten such a late start on my garden. There's always next year.

Kentucky Wonder snap beans are starting to come in. trying to stagger them a little, so started a couple of plants 2 months ago, a couple a month a go, and a few last week. since it warmed up, the ones i started last week got eaten by slugs. got some more started inside, gonna let em get a little bigger before i put them out

Make a beer trap for slugs globetard lol. Fill a glass casserole dish with cheap beer and leave it out overnight and you will wipe out the whole colony. Your welcome.

Use a glass casserole dish with 2 inches of beer for maximum effectiveness. The slugs don't like crawling over sharp plastic. The smooth glass is comfortable to their skin and they slide right in. The more beer you have the stronger the scent. They can crawl in and out because you don't have enough beer in your shitty trap.

I couldn't get my gas tiller started this year, so I took to a place for a tune up.. two and a half weeks they tell me.. Uggg. Almost exactly two and a half weeks later I have a message on the answering machine that they got it all started, but the gear box is shot, and it's not worth fixing. Was so pissed I wasted the tike waiting on the tiller. Oh well, went out and bought an electric jobber. Worked decent enough.

nothing major really, sweet banana peppers, jalapeno's, eggplant, which i never have good luck with but thought i'd give them another try.. yellow summer squash, zuchinni, cucs and a few different tomato varieties i think about rounds it out..

it was super hot and humid the night i was planting everything.. about 20 minutes or so after i got the last plant in, it started to rain.. i was so happy, lol.. funny thing is the small squash and baby cucs only showed up after the rains..

My face was hurting all weekend from smiling. Got to love the occasional subtropical storm. All my old seeds that had been in the ground 2-3 weeks came up.
