I think you could still grow some okra - it likes hot weather. Soak the seeds overnight before planting- it speeds up germination.

Last year was great and so we just replicated that this year (same variety, same seller, etc) and then we expanded to a second raised bed. We'll have a nice haul of garlic for sure. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-28848554327453930052019-04-30T01:02:20.524-05:002019-04-30T01:02:20.524-05:00Fresh herbs are THE BEST.

Great idea for the chickens, we will totally do that and give them them.

...Thank you! They are ongoing work for sure, ha. <br /><br />You know they changed that feature on the app. A couple of seasons ago it was a multicolor (different shades of green and yellow) to show the different paths. Then it went to this sort of all one line thing. It works for how I use it but I played around with it to see if it would do what you need and I'm not sure. I think it needs to be more of something you can zoom down to a closer level so you can see the paths and with directions (maybe little arrows would help?). I'm not sure if there is something like that. I just used this because it worked so seamlessly with my JD model and keeping track of maintenance things for my particular model. I'll see if I can find something else that might work for what you need. 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-19174718201206696112019-04-30T00:52:09.075-05:002019-04-30T00:52:09.075-05:00I slept well this weekend, ha.

I really hate just having the fabric down and no gravel or mulch but I'm just so torn as to what to do. I'm thinking that it will be best when we're out there full time and I can have a daily weed watch instead of once a week (or every couple if rain). 1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-16899500086445710812019-04-29T14:58:47.760-05:002019-04-29T14:58:47.760-05:00Looks fantastic!

Lots of hard work went into those.<br />I downloaded your mowing app. I try to mow my lawn in a different direction every time and was hoping this app could help me remember which way I went last time. It is very confused, it has me mowing right through the house, LOL! Not sure if one of my settings is off or what but the GPS is ON so not sure whats up with it. I'll keep looking at it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626678045896424852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-62953655601669317352019-04-29T10:23:24.260-05:002019-04-29T10:23:24.260-05:00Looks and sounds like you had a very profitable we...Looks and sounds like you had a very profitable weekend and hopefully you had time to relax in the evening. Being out in all that fresh air really makes a person to have an appetite and makes one sleep good a well; it does me anyway.<br />Garlic looks Great as well as your mowed yard.<br />Looks like you may want to lay another covering of weed fabric over your existing fabric to keep them weeds from coming through.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.com
