My squash was a huge success this year! My 2 plants put out a lot of fruit and this baby I kept for seeds. I did have an issue with powdery mildew but chopped off the affected stems and fed them to my worms, they really enjoyed the leaves. Then the plants just powered on 💪 Who here likes squash?

Hey Gardeners, I was sitting here during my lunch break & was wondering what is your favourite tool to use in the garden? Can the tool be used in a number of ways or does it have a single purpose? At the present I am enjoying using my bulb planter as I can dig holes with it to put in bulb, seedlings & small plants into the ground then replacing the soil around the bulb, seedling or plant when you release the handle 🪴 It’s an oldie but a goodie 😉

So it’s been quite a few weeks since I showed some photos of my garden so I thought I would add more for your viewing pleasure. I haven't been able to do much in the garden for the past few days as I have been resting my back (herniated discs in lumbar) and arthritis in right hip (I think it’s starting in my left as well). I did pick up a couple of thornless blackberries “Chester” & planted them in a pot yesterday & today I had a play in my worm 🪱 farm…..& collected the castings. So many worms that I will definitely need another worm farm soon or try @Marty Ware compost system (not sure how to start that atm).
