Been on the fly this week/end! Plans for my Fall Garden include, but are not limited to:
A second planting of Zinnia
Purple Broccoli
Green Onions
French Breakfast Radishes (mild, red, long with a white tip)
Salad greens
Pro Tip: As soon as Walmart has their 6-packs of Mums for sale, I’ll get those potted up to grow some before re-planting Porch Pots for Fall. If you have the means to do it, it’s SO much more economical to buy 6 Mums for the price of one big one later in the season. ;)
Mom is coming out today to start raiding my garden. I have zucchini to share, some semi-ripe tomatoes she can ripen at home and I’ll send her home with a flower bouquet. BLTs for lunch and a slice of Zucchini bread! Yay! :)
Going to mow today after the dew dries. It’s so hilly here, I’ll just SLIDE if I don’t wait. This is only the 4th mowing all season; no rain early on, but we got 3” over the past week, so things have stabilized.
The peaches are a gorgeous color, but still hard as a rock. I check them every day because when they turn, it’s GO TIME!
Puppies are growing so FAST! This morning they’ve already had First Breakfast at 6am; Second Breakfast for the Hobbits is at 11am - Elevensies, LOL! Right now they are playing tug of war with a shop rag they found somewhere. So far they have found the following treasures and brought them into the house yard:
a headless squirrel
a cow knee bone; great for gnawing on!
assorted rocks and old bones
tin cans
an empty plastic oil jug
a child’s shoe!
a sleep mask!
and...a log, LOL!
It takes me longer to pick up the yard than to mow it! They’ve also decamped to the greenhouse; I don’t have the heart to clean it up yet and ruin their fun. Puppyhood is short enough as it is, and they’ll soon be on the Bear Hunting Chain Gang. :(
Easily caught so no doubt the favorite type of squirrel for a dog to hunt! (Also File under "Rock Group Name"!)

Enjoy! I do not think there is a fruit better than a warm ripe peach just off the tree!
Have a great day!
