Nice Black Russians there. I just ate the first 3 Black Cherry Tomatoes. So sweet! But none of the other “new” old varieties are putting on. Nice healthy plants, most over my head, but no blossoms. Of course, there’s new yellow pear plants popping up all over.
Walked out yesterday and something had eaten through the basil. There’s one sad one left. No digging holes so it wasn’t the armadillos but don’t know what. Something ate a couple of peppers to the ground, too. But the ginger root is sending up shoots.
I was pulling weeds a couple days ago and hubby insisted on helping. What part of no thanks do people not understand? Told him specifically ONLY touch the Johnson grass but we all know how that went. In less than 5 minutes I was down to one green bean vine, sigh. Earlier in the summer, mother decided she’d pull what she thought was the morning glory off the fence - yes, my beans. So, I planted black beans and kidney beans there and cranberry beans in part of the herb bed. It’s really too shady for herbs so maybe the beans will reach high enough for the sunshine. If not, I need to find something that is shady friendly but will tolerate 100+ heat. It hit 110 this week.
Where on earth do you get the energy to keep gardening when your helpers subvert your effort? You must handcuff them to the fridge while you do your gardening lol!
