Hi greeneyes and everyone!

It rained again, and the grass is insanely growing! If I had a garden this year, it probably would be too!

The perennials are doing well. The black berries are ripe and Darlin has been harvesting a few beauties here and there and bringing them to me for a special treat.... LOL! unfortunately they have an astounding pucker factor! Sour???? You bet!

I ran across this survival hack for using a plastic water bottle in creative ways. At about 8:15, there is a demonstration of to use one for a seed or seedling planter. Very clever!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Blessings

Thanks for the link. I ran across a recipe for enhancing tomatoes that included sugar - maybe it would work on berries too:

1/2 C sugar
1 C Epsom Salts
1/2 C Bone Meal
Mulch

Mix all together, toss some in the planting hole, and put some on top to water in after plant begins to flower.

The Chef’s Garden - says that it will make the tomatoes taste sweeter.
