It's a big open space, full sun. I need to figure out a way to break it up with some plant "islands". We've got rain right now as I type this, a rain band coming through downtown. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-32025394165078834682017-06-21T22:17:07.670-05:002017-06-21T22:17:07.670-05:00I will look into that.

That might be what is happening to your plant. Yuck on the snakeskin. Hope you have any floor holes plugged. They might get in where mice get in---did you ever get rid of them? Now that I think about it, snakes like to eat mice... maybe they are searching for food.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-36819704749120767052017-06-19T23:54:01.449-05:002017-06-19T23:54:01.449-05:00I thought about that, snake = no mice, ha.

But we enjoy it all clean and neat, ha. That tree was one of the healthiest looking trees I think I've ever bought, ha. I'll definitely have a way to gauge how it's doing it the raised bed if it stays the same or grows, that's good. If it goes the other way, then we'll know something is up. <br /><br />Cucumbers might be the last batch this coming weekend. Hoping for some rain but not our monsoon type rains.

That is a beautiful apple tree - it looks very healthy. <br />The snake skin - at least you know your house is being patrolled for mice! <br />You got another good pick from your garden. My cucumbers are playing out also, it is getting too hot for them. The heat is getting to my tomatoes too - I made some picante sauce with probably the last good pick of them today. <br />We need rain so much - hoping to get some, but not a flood, from that tropical disturbance later this week. <br />Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-27328016051672126992017-06-19T21:23:08.641-05:002017-06-19T21:23:08.641-05:00You sure are good with a camera.
