Moving right along

Let's see...
Friday and Saturday I did some, rip it out by the roots weeding.
Sunday was all about mowing the yard.  I've got a double lot and it was time to mow it all.  I got everything but the alley done.
Monday I went out and mowed the alley and dealt with the grape vine, as much of it as I could reach.  There's still some bits of it clinging to the tree.  But it's dying and it's off the wires.

 
I did some spot weeding and picked a bunch of radishes.

That's all I did Monday.  It was one of those days were the heat index was over 100 and it was just too hot to work outside.
Yesterday was another hot day and there was no breeze.  I went out and shored up some of the tomato plants, added a couple of extra stakes and retied a few plants.  I picked some hot banana peppers 

 
Late in the afternoon a storm rolled in.

It poured, so that's about all that got done yesterday.

Today I've been weeding.  So what looked like this:

 Now looks like this:

I'm getting a handle on it.

Things are growing well.  There are tomatoes:     

And bell peppers:  

A couple of the lettuce plants came up:

The cucumbers are holding their own.

 

But the bottle gourds are amazing...

 On the 4th. they were getting a good toe hold on the fence:

On the 8th. they were hitting the top of the fence:

Today they're heading into the tree:

I don't know that I want them going for the tree.  I may try to reposition them...

The small bottle gourd is starting to catch up.  I think the added sun is helping.

The herb garden is doing very well.  I'm entertaining the idea of actually using some of them...

The bad news for the day is the flower garden.  I weeded it last Thursday.

But now you can't really tell that.

There are some flowers in there, but it's kinda hard to tell which is which...

So, in the coming days I will be weeding the flower garden, very carefully.

And, since I mowed the lawn, even though it already needs to be mowed again, I get to start playing with the wood chipper.

I really need the mulch.
