Last two days of comfortable temps, before 90+ returns mid-week. Only low eighties today.

Got to try out a trick I learned at Instagram at Lowes. Any torn garden bags are 50% off, ask at the gardent register and they'll give you large plastic bags to contain the contents. Here on Thursdays they clean up the shelves of broken and torn bags and move them to a 50% off pile because that's when they take pictures of the shelves. Saved a bunch.

I have a Lowes near me. I'll have to see if they do the same thing.

Is that a gnome in the garden thread, no a @Hobbes86, how ya doing Ian?

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Ian.

We got back from spending a week at my mom's, dogs in tow, and when we returned my Wife let me know that some rodents had gotten to the garden produce. I didn't realize how much our dogs, and mostly the Hell Mutt, act as guardians of the garden while there here. I just need to train her to leave the skunks alone and we'll be good.

The primary strawberry patch was covered and survived unscathed, at least.

harvested peaches before the blue jays, orioles, and catbirds ate them all.
