Woohoo! We just had about half an hour of a small rain.

The garden is covered in weeds - still. Can’t seem to get ahead of them this year. Did get most of the weeds out of the front door flower bed and see that there are finally some caladiums coming up. The glads are getting buds but the lillies are just sitting there not growing. Sunflowers are up by the side garden but don’t see any marigolds by the sole tomato over there.

Back to the garden, I’ve been lazy this week and still haven’t put out cantaloupe. Also, need to reseed some kohl rabi - never tried it before. Must get off my butt! Must also get the cuke out of the greens. It has flowers on it as do the green beans. Have been sharing the lettuces.

Put out some more bird feeders and so the birds are happy, too. There’s one dove who’s so chubby, he just walks around the yard.

I think that phrase is now my middle name :-(

Sounds like everything is growing really well, including the weeds! Think of the harvest ... it is a good motivator! LOL at your chubby dove. I have a pair that sit in the corn trailer under the equipment shed. Surprises me that they can even fly out. I’ve run across several baby doves that don’t fly yet out in the yard. Luckily, they’ve all been across the pond where the cat doesn’t hang out much.
