  • Going on vacation during prime garden growing season left me with quite the chore when I got home. I will share with you an update on the garden while I get some things tidied up and harvest some garden fresh produce. Come along with me and share what you are excited about in your garden in the comments below.

    Japanese beetles are getting my pole beans but they are leaving my bush beans alone. They are on a lot of my garden but I'm keeping them under control by knocking them in a bucket of soapy water. My 6 year old grandson, who visits often, loves to do that task!

    HEY RACHEL, I connect another cattle panel with zip ties to the main trellis and support the free hanging side with 2x4's so the tops can lay over on to it and I can walk under it and pick the high ones. If not, then the tops will just lay over and you risk them breaking. Kacy😁

    Tomatoes look soooo healthy and abundant, Rachel. The effort you made at planting time is certainly bearing fruit. 😃
    And those peppers! 😍
    Perhaps leave a few pea plants in the ground until the over-ripe peas dry out for next year’s seeds...? Chickens and turkeys might enjoy others too large to freeze/process.

    Rachel, I imagine you took down the video of your Dad's surprise 80th birthday party. I'm glad I was able to see it and thank you for sharing (although perhaps you may not have intended to?) I couldn't watch it in one go. Too many tissues and tears. You have an AMAZING Dad! He is so well loved by so many. It's clear he's had a positive impact on all of the members of your family. Wow. You are so blessed, so is he and the rest of the family. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time! I'm glad you guys planned such a great celebratory homage to such a special Daddy!

      We had every intention to publish the Birthday video. However two things bit us. 1) something happened with the upload and it wasn't in HD format. and then 2) we were asked by some parents to not publish their kids in the video. So we may re-edit and publish again, with respect to our family who want to remain private.

    What I do with the Japanese Beetles is take a jar and put Dawn and water in it, shake it up so there are bubbles in it and then catch them and put them in the jar…the suds make it so they can’t fly back out and breaks the surface tension so they sink and drown

    Happy Anniversary to you and Todd and so nice that you got to get away! I can’t leave because we are so hot and dry everything would be crispy in a couple days if I didn’t water it. We have had 100F and over for over two weeks and no end in sight, very unusual, especially this early in the summer. We usually go about 3 months with no rain.
    I’m so happy for you looking at those bountiful luscious tomatoes! I had a couple early on, but it’s been too hot for them to set. I guess we will have some when it cools down for fall. Very disappointing.
    I’m pitting more tart cherries as I’m watching you. I’ll be canning more pie filling and juice. They are so beautiful when I’m up in the tree picking, Ive been thanking the Lord for the bountiful harvest. Even though it’s been so hot, it’s like He’s keeping them from ripening too fast so I can have time to pick them. He’s so sweet and good to me!

    Also watch out for the green leaf roller in the bean plants. I had my first encounter with one of those last season, so far there are none this season, but they only take a short amount of time to destroy beans. Some of the leaf cuts don't look like Japanese beetles, but a lot does. I think you might have both going on. The green leaf roller is a green caterpillar with a brown large head.
