Good to know! Those birds better get with the program and rid us of those monsters once and for all!

My day was not very productive as far as working in the garden goes. We have had the worst hatch of mosquitoes I have EVER seen! I have been here for 9 years and this is the first season I've gotten bit or even SEEN a mosquito! Ugh!

So, I'm going to town tomorrow to get gas for the mower, pick up some pet supplies, bug dope and a head net as Beau took both of ours with him to Bear Camp. He obviously has all the bug dope, too - we seriously never seem to need it! I can just imagine what the bugs are like up there, as they've had even more rain than we have had!

So, I made a mad dash and checked on things and all looks well - little disease so far, even in this wet season. Grabbed the first Cucumber, and I should have usable Zucchini later this week. Lots of green tomatoes on and NO SIGN of Blossom End Rot. Hurrah!

Hoping to get out there in the AM, doused in (the safe stuff) bug dope and my head netting, LOL! Glad I don't have neighbors that can watch me.
