Gardening, anyone?

Hubby was tired from work last night and when he saw that the veggie plants are getting to where they either need to be caged or tied up to stakes, he said we would get to it this weekend. Told him we may have to get more cages or stakes as we may not have enough to get to all of it. The beans and pea plants I support by using old flower garden fencing.

I hope the little parakeet found its way home last night, MOmmy.
Lori, OK send some of that rain my way. The weathermen here get excited about the 20% chance we have. With our temps sitting just under 100 I wish it was a 100% chance of rain.

Heidi, I'll try! M0mmy shared her rain with me so it's the least I can do to pay it forward. My fingers, toes and eyes are crossed and praying you get rain soon!

Heidi - Love the garden pics and the turtle. The turtle looks to have an interesting pattern, I never noticed before, with the yellow almost looking like a primitive flower design. Neat.
Mommyof2- we're in the same spot. Need to support my plants more, we've had so much rain, everything growing so much. I have some gourds that I swear I could watch grow. I planted amongst my tomato plants and in some ways the gourds tendrils are providing its own ties to the tomato plants.
Lori- Love the pics. Particularly the one with the rays. Beautiful.

Any rain we get after the plants are supported will be welcomed and a break on the water bill!!!!

Heidi, you have Yurtle the turtle and I have Murtle the turtle! I was amazed how many turtles I saw crossing the highway yesterday. I guess all the rain has weakened them up lol

Looks like we might get some rain later. I hope!

I wish we could get some rain. We have a very bad wild fire here. Further to north but serious for New Mexico.....

We got a rain shower earlier, might see more before the day is out

Jazzy, I hope you get some rain as well. Lori is sharing with me so if I get some I will share with you.
Lori, I love the turtles. In the spring we have a lot cross one of the roads I use. I have been known to stop the car and move one completely across the road to help keep it safe.
GardenNerd, you're right, it does look like a flower on the shell.
On a non-gardening note, Chubby Checker put on a concert locally and I got up on stage (with some other brave souls) and did the twist. This fluffy ole gal still has it. LOL

Sharing our daily rain with everyone who needs it. Teka. . .luv the red honey suckle.
This little guy was trying to blend in with the Hydrangeas surrounding the light post. I did not know that we had native tree frogs here.

Teka, I love the red honeysuckle! Our property was covered in the Japanese honeysuckle but I've cleared most of it out. It's a wonderful smell in the mornings but it does a job on our trees. I love the bright yellow butterfly ob your beauty bush.
Scottie, I love the picture! What a beautiful sight! I need to find out what type of frog we have that hangs out under the top rail of our pool. I'm always plucking them out of the skimmer basket. Silly little things.
M0mmy and Jazzy, praying you both get lots of rain soon. They are calling for more rain for us this week, but I'll keep watering my garden just in case.
I picked some green beans this afternoon. I'll stir fry them for dinner tomorrow. I've got baby tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The plants in the bales are pretty small but they are covered with flowers and little veggies so I guess they are fine. I'll have to pick strawberries tomorrow if I don't forget.

I'm laying in bed listening to the storm raging outside my balcony doors. My garden is laughing and dancing but it's to dark for me to take a picture!

Just went out and with hubby's assistance got everything in the veggie garden staked and supported.

Listening to my garden sizzling outside.....

Oh poor garden! Sizzling is not good.

My husband fertilized the raised bed garden today.
Then a beautiful rain came.
He found several items to pick but decided not to because I haven't felt well and stayed inside.
Monday will be a better day and we can harvest then.
I am so tired of treatment which ends mid August. I am sure this feeling is normal and will pass.

Coachvicky- sending you hugs on your treatment. It feels like it will never end, but it does and then you being the slow steady crawl back to normalcy. You are in the home stretch sister, August is coming up quickly. Not fast enough though.....

Good that the plant has lots so u can tell till you look close that some were taken away . Here she is looking beautiful still.
Other did not have much luck
I added more spice but I now think I need to find something to scare them with .
On the other hand I just realized my little bonsai tree is blooming too first time in years I got him 3 years ago I have 3 bonsai trees never had blooms

Hi, I love gardening but as energy runs down, so the care for my garden. I bought two lavender plants and I am trying to save at least one. Recommendations? Please. I love lavender.

Mariange43 - Lavender is tricky in humid areas. I'm on the Gulf Coast and trying to grow Lavender this year also. Good drainage for the roots. Add rocks/pebbles around the plant to absorb heat, which in turn will dry out the air around the plants to lower humidity. Also some lavenders do better than others for humid areas. And oh, I agree I love lavender. My three plants were doing pretty good until we had a run of rain past few weeks. They are not looking as good now. Lavender is supposed to assist in keeping down the mosquito population in the area. I also am trying lemon grass and lemon basil. Both of those are doing great.

DH put his game camera up to capture a nights worth of visiting at our bird feeders. We were very surprised. Thought I'd share. Sorry that they are night shots. But just amazed how in six hours we had this many visitors that were not birds.

Sorry, couldn't seem to get them on one post. One of the two raccoons is injured. Ears chewed up, one eye questionable and in another photo, you'll see he has very little tail.

And as morning came about we had cardinals and squirrels. Busy night at the local restaurant.

Gardennerd. . .lol. We tried a night camera last year to see if we could see the Beavers. I returned it because we could not get it to connect to our WiFi. Seeing your pictures, I really need to try again.
coachvicki. . .hang in there. You are nearly there.

Enerva, Gardener's Supply Catalog has a number of devices to protect plants. You might look and get ideas.
