We’re getting a bit of badly needed rainfall here in Central Missouri this afternoon.

I can’t pick and preserve as fast as things are growing right now. That is a good problem to have.

I’m taking off a bit early from work today so I can go in town and fetch Mrs. Augie’s new Kubota zero-turn mowing machine. Tomorrow is mvi on my truck and new tires on the horse trailer. In between all of that we’ll be salvaging barn lumber and trying to get some more canning done.

I sure do hope I get to sleep when I’m dead...

We are having a nice rain all day today. For the last couple of days I was thinking, “got to water the flower garden today,” but I’ve been feeling crummy all week so day after day I’ve neglected the garden. Today, God took care of it for me.

We are having unseasonably cool weather here in NC. It’s the coolest July I can ever remember. I bet we’ll have an early frost.

I am having so much fun with the garden this year, it has all grown so much it is getting hard to move around when watering. It isn't spectacular by any means but it is quaint and thriving. My grandbabies helped me plant and now they are in awe of what is coming! I can't wait to harvest and share our magic spaghetti plant, and they can't wait for the melons that are red and have seeds :). My garden makes my heart happy, in more ways than one.

To all my fellow FRgarden lovers, I wish you love and happiness in your gardens, they really are more fun than non-gardeners could ever know!

West/South Central Wisconsin...the garlic has been harvested. Tomatoes are just pickable. Fruit trees doing great! As Joe Bastardi predicted...it is a “Garden of Eden” this year. 49 chickens have been dispatched and are canned or frozen. We had a horrible winter and a cool, beautiful summer summer so far.

Hi & God Bless to everyone. The heat has hit & we’ve cried uncle. I’m just happy the foliage plants are hanging in there & the grass could be much, much worse.
Fall isn’t looking much better. Bleah.
