I’ve been spending much more time working in the garden now that we have Gracie, our new, five year old rescue. She loves to lie on the brick path in the sun while I work. What a mess! Vines, crabgrass, blackberry vines with thorns and everything else imaginable. Instant gratification, though! :)

Thanks, Diana! I love these threads.

Are raised bed paprika pepper plants have made it to a full pint of dried spice.
And, they’re still producing !

Perfect on pork chops and chicken.

Trying to answer the question” What happens when you plant peas in late July?” Viability was good, so I have some for December planting, and successive. Some fava beans came up. Need to thin the yellow rocket and get the cruciferous babies in the ground, pronto.

Tomatoes finally ripe! They are tasty and especially good with basil, and bunching onions, which I have also grown.
