My garden is completely planted, thanks to some help from Mom and our friend Kathy. Yay! It's gone straight to HOT now, so I've watered a few times this week, but we got a lovely, long shower yesterday afternoon - only 1/4" but it was perfect on top of the watering I did. Raccoons dug up a few things freshly planted overnight, but all were saved! The ONLY thing left in the greenhouse are re-potted winter squash that are waiting for Beau to plant in his plot; Acorn Squash, Honeynut and Moregold, and my two potted Rosemary plants. First SUCCESS this season has been my 4x8' strawberry patch. Four pickings of a generous quart each so far and looks like at least one more picking to go. Last year we got nothing due to no rain and cool temps. Grapevines are FULL with grapes again this season - wasn't sure with all the rain if they would produce well. Life Is Good! So relieved to have all of that out of the way!

CONGRATS on getting everything planted. I cut a dozen huge broccoli leaves and wound up giving them to our neighbor, her kids have 5 rabbits.

We're headed to mid 90s by weekend so I'll be watering soon.

One end of my 16x16-ish front yard garden is angled so I have one less than 90 degree corner. I tossed weeds there all season and at the end of the season, tossed the pants pulled out for the year. I knew I'd be importing the Comfrey plants where the goats can't get at it and figured the pile would be good food for them.

Must have tossed a few split maters in that direction too because I have volunteers that just popped up in the last week or three.

There are several of them including another that big that were not there a 2-3 of weeks ago. They're all against the fence so I'm going to let them go and train them upwards and then sideways on the fence and get what I get for maters.

Comfrey is a nitrogen fixer so I imagine the mater right next to it ought to do good.

Weed you're garden day will have to wait until Sat morning when I'll weed and mulch around comfrey and volunteers.
