Been a hard year on me trying to garden with all the falls and fractured, sprained, twisted bones I have. Luckily no falls since back in May. On a walker just about all the time, the kind you hold on to with both hands so I am limited as to what can be done but I am giving it my best shot. What use to take 10 minutes now takes 30. I am able to use just the hand walker here in the house some and I get adventurous and will make a few steps without any walker.
Putting up summer squash, gathered my headed onions, they are tied up and on the backporch, had planted 75 of them. I will dig my taters in a few days as the vines are dying down. Shelly beans in north garden are loaded good and some should be getting ripe in a couple of weeks.
Have had a terrible time with red mites on my maters, finally got Daddy to bring me up some Malathion and sprayed them and looks like that took care of the mites.
South garden is finally looking good, had to replant so many times because of the rain, which has finally slacked up here Got a good rain Friday night.
Sweet taters are real pretty so far.
Course my flowers are in full swing right now. So all in all things are good.

MY GARDEN LOOKS TERRIBLE FROM ALL THE RAIN! MY TOMATOES ARE TURNING YELLOW AND I REALLY DON'T THINK THEY WILL MAKE IT, THE ONLY THINGS THAT LOOK HALF WAY GOOD ARE THE ZUCHINNI AND LITTLE MANS PUMPKINS! SO I WILL PROBABLY BE BUYING MATERS AND GREEN BEANS THIS SUMMER.

I didn't raise any green beans this year. I knew it would be too hard for me to pick them. Wondering now how I will gather my other beans.
Been putting up alot of summer squash. Maters are finally looking better. I think I got rid of the mites that were on them.
I been seeing on tv all the rain you been getting. Just doesn't seem to be a happy medium for y'all this year.
Maybe it will stop raining soon and you might plant a late garden.
