I picked some pumpkins this weekend. Last year the armadillos scratched a lot of them up, so I couldn't enter those at the county fair...but I still got 1st and 3rd place on my ornamental pumpkin and butternut squash! I'm on top of it this year. Me - 1, Armadillos- 0. What's everyone harvesting this week?

This is my first year growing dahlias and they've really come in nicely. What are your firsts in the garden this year?

...but it's a gold mine! I built a worm farm a few months back and have been collecting their castings to make a nutrient rich tea. The tomato plants are loving it! 🪱🪱🪱

With so many of my waking hours focused on the gardens, it's not surprising that the subject comes up in my dreams. Last night I dreamed that I had an infestation of squash bugs. They are the worst! I stay on top of them all season, but they still do some damage. Which garden pests are your biggest enemies? 🐁🐛🐓🐄🐀🐜🐌🐈🐕

I'm picking suger snap peas every few days now! Who else is already harvesting from the garden?
