Very nice!
I already noticed a small leaf virus of some kind so I've had good luck in the past with warm water ans a teaspoon of baking soda ans a drop of Dawn dish washing liquid shaken and sprayed on the plants before dark. Never in the sunlight, naturally.
Got more to plant as the grass needed mowed.

Got almost everything in as I plan on finishing up today possibly. Another friend dropped off some more plants donated to the cause and as my wife likes to plant her herbs he also donated some more of those to her for her patio plants. Being closer to the kitchen and more Convenient. The heat is backing down from mid to high 80's to mid 70's so it'll be a lot friendlier working in the garden conditions.

Got everything in as I came in to get cleaned up and my Bride had a wonderful lunch waiting. Got a few plants left over that I'll give to another neighbor that dabbles in gardening a tad. Gorgeous weather as mid 70's sunny and breezy. Gotta enjoy it while we can and Give Thanks!

Mine is really good this year. We've already had beets, broccoli, cabbage, red potatoes, and green peas. Squash and green beans are almost in.

My earliest sweet corn is a couple of weeks away from being ready, and I've had coon traps out all year, because they get into it if I don't. Caught two this week, only 50 yards from the garden. Hopefully, that will put a dent in them.

Hot dry winds of may/June are hard on plants in far southeastern Arizona. Last 5 or 6 years I wait till 1st of July to plant. Have had the highest yield and good plant health than I had ever experienced in the past.

Garden is in and doing pretty well all in all. Lost a few small pepper plants to an early leaf fungus and some Eggplant leaves we're treated and are doing better. I noticed a brown spot lawn fungus in the yard the past week I've been treating and possibly carried onto the near by garden leaves. Always something but such is life. We had some well needed rains this past week and it has cooled things down. The 9 different variety of tomatoes are doing extremely well! Heading out to do a little weeding and watering.

Due to knee replacement, I did not plan one this year. Left fallow, allowed for some tall grass and weeds. Could not stand it and went to the COOP and bought some SPINDLY tomato plants Saturday, went to plant them that afternoon and first thing I find is a VERY newly born fawn in one of the beds.
Planted the tomatoes at the other end and left with the fawn still pretending to be hidden.
Hope it survives this coyote that leaves his marker in the driveway every once in a while and the bobcat that lives next door!
