Random thoughts

Things I learned this morning,

Corn has very shallow roots ( i am sure a google search would have yielded that tidbit) and we live in a windy burb.  An since I do not have a square mile of corn planted, this makes difference.  My corn was leaning so we shored it up with composted material.

As tenacious as the squash plants are they are really rather fragile.. that is interesting...

My watermelon plants are flowering.

What I had hoped would be a crap load of cukes, ARE....JOY

That big bulbish (Bushism) thing I yanked out of my lettuce bed was a fennel bulb... and we are gonna eat it!

There are more beans in those bushes than i gave them credit for (again...dinner)

Husbands are great and you should save them for the truly yucky work, like turning the compost.

I am gonna be harvesting a TON of squash.

I have raspberries and I ate one!

One should not be too overzealous when weeding the strawberries, b/c those little runners are hiding in there.

Something other than a mosquito is feasting on my calves when I am pulling weeds.

I am a little wigged by the stinkbugs or more so the lack thereof.. where are you hiding, where are you laying your hideous little marmorated eggs?   I keep looking for you, the news says you are here in biblical droves...where?  Please tell me they are just not gonna show up in a cloud one day and mow my garden down....Yes I lose sleep over this.

I need another compost bin i.e., I Need some more pallets so I can build my own.

AND I can think of no better use for a liberal rag like the Washington Post than to line my beds as mulch, upon which to compost..totally worth the .50 cents!
