Two points for me. I have NEVER lost my gardening gloves (as I keep pairs stashed all over the place) nor have I stepped on a rake. I've done everything else on this list. :)
Pinging the list...
Is this the correct place to ask for advice about a particularly greedy squirrel?
He’d come by to nibble every few days...no big deal really. But...once them tomatoes were starting to turn red.
He stole every tomato off the plant.
Added an array of growing garlic, peppers and onion to keep him back. Might just make him bring friends tho.

'Big Ben' Peony bush. That sad 'stick' to the right is what's left of my Korean Spice Bush after a year of puppies. :( She seems to WANT to live, though, so there's that.
Salad Garden. Lettuces, Chard, Herbs, Calendula (not in bloom, yet.)
Spent Tulip bulbs on either side, Garlic down the middle. It, too, loved all the rain we've had.
Snap Peas are starting to pod. I added a cucumber plant at each corner of this structure; they'll take over when the peas are spent. I will train each corner into an 'X' formation on each side. Plenty of room to grow long, straight cukes! 'Sweeter Yet' is the variety.
Silly Scarecrow from Mom. He's on a swivel and turns in the breeze. When the wind is from the East, it's like he's dissin' me!
Things are coming along! Can't wait to see what I can do with my new greenhouse going into the fall. Early June, on a sunny day, it's well over 100 degrees in there; useless right now, unless I want to grow cactus!
Lovely lettuces with some volunteer Marigolds in there.
My Broccoli did NOT like that shot of hot weather we had - not sure if they'll even head now, at this point. We will see. I planted 12 heads, total.
Thanks for the thread Augie!
I have very little to report. Weather here is gorgeous. We’ve had some good rain.
My lettuce stump project seems to be going along well - two of the stumps I’ve planted have started generating some leaves! I;m planting bib lettuce that still has the root stump attached which I’ve obtained from the grocery store. I’ve found that it works better if a few leaf remnants are left on it.
The other news is that the parsley which overwintered and came back this year is going to seed! I suspect the butterfly caterpillars will be descending soon, so I hope the seeds will drop before then. However, it will not clabber the Milky Way if they don’t! LOL!
Darlin and I obtained some sprouts of some moonflower plants. We planted those several days ago and they are holding up.
Wisteria and jackmannies are blooming. Day lilies are getting ready to.
My hay bales are still waiting for some kind of planting, but just have not felt up to it. Oh well.
I’m wishing everyone well and hope your gardens are as rewarding as my tiny little microscopic patch!
Thank you, Augie.
Noticing more and more green tomatoes Hoping to have some for the 4th of July.
