Just came in from weeding one of the gardens. Was gone for about 3 weeks (dad died) and hubby got most of the other 2 gardens tended. Pulled a row of turnips and a few beets. Potatoes are flowering. I think we should have been hilling them all along. Not sure if its worth it at this point, as they are pretty tall. We got wonderful strawberries a couple of weeks ago. Looks like they are done for this year. Everything else is coming along, slowly it seems. Then again, we got a late start this year due to all the rain.

The veggie garden looks pretty good, but something is attacking my flowering plants this year. I don’t see any bugs on them, but there are round spots all over the leaves. One of the apple tree’s leaves is covered in rust this year. There are lots of pine/cedar trees around here, so not sure what can be done.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

So sorry to hear about your Dad.
I miss mine too. Eventually the pain will pass, and you'll just have the great memories. :-)

I have round spots on my nasturtiums...it looks like something has eaten just the ‘meat’ and not the ‘frame’ of the leaf in those spots.

Could that be the tomato virus that's going around?

Just want you to know I am thinking about you, and sorry you lost your Dad.

My elderly Mom has been sick, so I’ve not been on FR much. So I know you must be hurting, it’s hard to watch a parent deteriorate, and to lose one in any situation.

My prayers are with you, sweetie.
