Beautiful morning here. 66 going up to 85.

The other day I was at the garden center and the owner was telling me that she uses 30% vinegar to paint the weeds. So, I ordered some from Amazon and can't wait to go into the woods and paint my stickery vines and even the poison ivy. I spent 2 days pulling those stickery plants out and there's still a bunch more. I'm sure it's going to grow back again because I couldn't get all the roots out. Hopefully this vinegar stuff will take care of that. I hate using spray herbicides.

In August our family rented a beach house for a week in Ocean City New Jersey. For a fun activity for the 4 boys i'll have them make Jellyfish air plant terrariums. Hopefully I can find the glass containers here at our local dollar store. The rest of the stuff should be easily found at the shore.

The garden is doing really well except for the tomato plant that a deer must have dined on. Each grandson will have their own potato bag to dump and hopefully harvest a bunch of potatoes. It'll still be a month or so before the potato plants flower and die back before we can harvest. That's the hard part, waiting until their ready.

We're having a terrible time with ants this year. They ruined my radishes! Everybody is complaining about the ants, probably has to do with all the rain we've been having? Not sure, but we certainly haven't had this problem before. The Borax works great for indoors, but there's just too many ants in the garden. I tried putting a cup of the stuff next to the radishes and ended up with a cup full of rain and dead ants. Yuck!

Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

57 here right now but weather says sunny and 87 for today. Too hot. Thank goodness for AC.

Good morning. The rain has stopped for now. Hopefully we get some sun today to help dry things out a little. We got a ton of rain.
