a super productive day

Status of our Garden
Its been a few weeks since I have last posted about the our garden and most recently being super excited about planting Pumpkins, Butternut and Acorn squash. Well I, yes I planted, DT was out of town and I actually planted them. But the next day we got lots of rain and it rained solid […]
Pie Pumpkins, Butternut Squash and Acorn Squash
The garden was in major need or grooming and we DT first weeded, picked, pulled everything except, the okra and peppers. This Texas heat is almost unbearably hott, oh who am I kidding it is unbearably hot. But somehow my sweet husband DT can tough it out to work on the garden. He loves his […]
Watermelon, snakes and ducks

Summer Garden week 11
