Wow, very nice! I need to go feed mine and listen to them bitch about the heat that's beginning to show up
What are you feeding them? Looks like corticosteroids.

Funny you should say that. I've been debating feeding but when I rebuilt the beds this spring I completely turned over all my medium (1:1:1 compost, vermiculite and peat moss) I added more compost and I must have activated some dread, long hidden spell. I fear they will rise up and attack the house and pull me into their leafy maw.Wow, very nice! I need to go feed mine and listen to them bitch about the heat that's beginning to show up

But thank you. I'm going to apply maxibloom to my toms and cukes and eggplant.

Since my wife found out the go to way to cook long beans is to stir-fry them with bacon, she has became a big fan. At her request I planted a row in the flint/sweet corn cross patch in the between the pines garden, and in the fenced in area in the other garden where I had my mulch pile during the winter.
A good thing is eight or ten of them make a mess. (estimated harvest, about a mile)

You're looking good. We just had our first cuke of the year. Had tomatoes for a while now, but I'm already planting replacements.
A couple three weeks ago, I thought our rainy season was starting early, but it didn't pan out. I've been dragging hoses and running the sprinklers this past week. The Texas heat dome has made it's way to the Sandhill. We've been in the mid to high 90's.

Salvia divonorum actually flowering!!!
Had it years and it’s never flowered once, while all my others salvia flower the same time each year.
The lads at the grow shop also have it amongst their peppers and house plants in the window, and it’s also flowering.
Not an overly spectacular flower, more the novelty of seeing it for the first time.

Out tomatoes are finally starting to ripen up in full force. Here’s todays harvest. Time to start making spaghetti sauce and break out the pressure canner.

Late start here. These all got dropped in the first or second week of June. Sugar pumpkin, Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin, cantaloupe, squash, watermelon, basil, borage, sage, corn and probably other stuff I’m forgetting haha.

My small back garden. Mostly flowers.
Canary creeper. I planted 60 oldish seeds and only 6 were viable, desperate.
Just coming into flower.
At least I'll have plenty of seeds for next year.
Hydrangea paniculatas, two varieties.
They put out a nice show. Starts off creamy white then to pink hues. Long lasting flowers.
Lillies
I battled the Lilly beetles in early spring, nasty wee feckers but I won the war. I musta killed hundreds of them.
They can totally destroy lillies if left unchecked.
Couple of tomato plants, Alicante
Enjoy

My beautiful pumpkin got a " Bonnie and Clyde " send off during a hail storm two days ago. The poor thing , I could hear the screams from inside the house. I should of euthanized the suffering dude during that onslaught of jagged ice chunks.
