Guess what I get to do this morning? Replant every ONE of the TWENTY-THREE tomatoes we planted, yesterday! Yep. Raccoons.
A dog is being tied out in the garden tonight! Grrrrr!
And we had our planting system down to a science, and we thought a good, deep watering would tamp down any bone meal scent, but I guess not. Double Grrrr!
I’ll see ya all later. Hoping my ANGER will keep me motivated and I can make quick work of a two-hour job! Triple Grrrrr!

I don’t garden, but it seems odd to have Corn on the Cob day in June...
Love the “Days to Celebrate” Calendar.
Will post appropriate recipes.
It was a soggy weekend here in Central Missouri. Inch of rain Friday, another inch Saturday, 2.2” Sunday. We’re going to have fun mowing the yard when the ground is dry enough to get over it.
The birdhouse gourds I started are ready to set out, but I’m afraid I’ll sink to China if I step foot in the garden.
Been picking snow peas that were supposed to be snap peas for the last week. Pole beans are mostly up. 2nd planting of sweet corn spiked yesterday. First planting is ready for a top dressing of nitrogen. Tomatoes were mostly out of their transplant funk before the deluge came - they certainly didn’t need 4+” of rainfall right now.
Collards are sprouting in the greenhouse. Basil is sprouting. Two more American Senna popped up over the weekend. Still only one of the six Red Canna seeds has come up. No sign of peach or pawpaw.
Cabbages are rocking. Spaghetti squash looks good. Cukes are up about 3”. Kale in the raised bed is big enough to start picking on. Beets in the raised bed are sizing up.
The sun is shining today so I might try to dig in the spud bed to see how much varmint damage has been done.
My pond hit the overflow over the weekend. First time in three years it’s been full.
Mostly waiting for the ground to dry up at this point.
