All my garlic is in and cured.

Most of my onions are, too.

I’m working on canning up tomato sauce from my wonderful crop. I finally started getting a problem with blight, but the plants are far enough along in tomato production that I got a fairly good crop.

My bucket carrots and tomatoes are doing VERY well.

Glad someone is having success! I expect a turn-around next week as far as ripening tomatoes goes. It was 51 degrees when I got up today! August 10th! Come on, Man! LOL!

Starting flats of lettuces and spinach this weekend. With the puppies still loose, I will be strictly greenhouse-growing them. They are experts at dismantling baskets and planters and today stole TWO bags of potting soils and spread the dirt and the shredded bags all over the lawn.

Who has more fun than us, Hey? Yeah, Mommy said a few ‘bad words’ cleaning up that mess! I moved as much as I could UP to higher shelving in the greenhouse. Also made Beau SWEAR last night that I get, at minimum, a 5 year BREAK until the next large litter like this. Grrrrr!
