That is a beautiful container for a lovely subject.

Yesterday I loaded about 50 pics from my camera, but not all are up on here. I have a few garden pics of the veggies.

Weeded more in the garden today, my potted Strawberry Corn seed ( a few were started in the ground) is about 1-3 inches now. Have watermelon and decorative mixed Gourds and green onions seeds to plant tomorrow. Planted nasturtium jewel mix at the same time as the corn

Here is what I did get added to the album regarding the garden

Already posted this guy in the wildlife but he's a cutie!

Chive flowers and pansies are edibles...
Beautiful Purple cabbage growing pretty well though I saw some leaf damage today, will be keeping an eye out for the worms!

Thank you![emoji5]
I have a fondness for the old McCoy style cream ware.

You are as busy outside with your garden as you are inside with tanks, lol.

We are lucky to have these looonnnnggg days to do more work?!

Picked a colander full of cherries yesterday from a tree in my yard I grew from seed. These are sour cherries. Pitted them this morning and will cook them with sugar. I want something to put on crackers.
Was surprised to see so many cherries on the tree this year. Normally I am battling with the birds. However, we had a swarm of cicadas this year and the birds are so full from eating those that they have left the fruit alone. Win-win.

Nice to hear from you flchamp89, it finally turned nice in Indiana. Humid and 92 here today, yard is finally in order after monsoon spring, garden is up, pool is open and the crops are in (knee high by the 4th of July, that's the old saying).

Got some new pots yesterday. PURPLE my fav. It was 100+ but the Yucca Rostrata needed the big pot!

Very nice TMaier! Looks like a nice spot to relaxing the evening. [emoji481]

Black berries and lemon trees !!

 

[Autumnsky]

Looks like a small lemon grove on the way there!! Meyers???

This remnds me I have a bumper crop of raspberries coming, they are still green but the Robins are bouncing in and out of the bushes just waiting for the moment they will ripen. And they eat A LOT!!!

Planted the Pumpkin mound and the Zucchini mound two more tomatoes, Yellow Pear, and repotted the Million tomato to a large pot and a Gypsy pepper plant. Need a new tomato cage. A couple more

Strawberry corn is about a foot tall. Seed planted Nasturtiums have numerous leaves and look good!

Hoping for a Cilantro and spicy pepper on my shopping today.

Pics soon.

My goodness that's a lot !!! We planted small this year and had a possum attack our sunflowers !

 

[GOLDFISHGAL]

15 lemons !! I am looking at planting a 1 acer ploy of property as a grove!

 

[Autumnsky]

That is wonderful. So many uses for lemons. The flowers smell lovely! Mexican limes are pretty awesome trees too! Love all the Citrus. Big Pink Grapefruit, slightly warmed from the sun, mmmmm!

Not too much, just have small amounts of a bunch of things! To amuse myself I guess mostly.

A few pics

Raspberries started as just a couple gifted twigs /sticks /plants, after a few years its so crazy, Thornless too The Birds love that part, being thornless.
When I walked up to get a pic the Robin fllew out of the bushes!

Jack o Lantern Pumpkins ( the Zucs look the same lol)

This isn't exactly plant related but it will be! Just finished the wc export system, now I can easily divert tank water to either the flower bed watering lines or a 50 gal rainbarrel for storage. I feel so eco-friendly right in about to go hug a prius

After water changes, I dump my tank water on some elephant ear plants outside the house. I'm still an old fashioned bucket water changer, so the only pain is dragging the bucket outside.

ROFL...

My 72G is rigged to send the water outside to a Spruce tree and Japanese Forest Grass stand otherwise bucket water the flower beds and grass (soon will be using a small pump and tubing which goes outside).

A storage container /rainbarrel might be a good option. What about winter time, frozen??? :/

I'll drain everything well before freezing, pvc lines will be cleared with compressed air. Water will unfortunately go down the drain. We only use a fee gallons a week for inside plants

 

[Autumnsky]

Yes good. Inconvenience winter...
