Cane, no doubt that's a cat in the pic, but it sure does look like a young red fox from this angle!

Planted carrots and thinned out my kale. Planted lettuce starts in my window boxes.

Gotta share---So...my lawnmower repair guy sold us 2 used riding mowers this summer, a used John Deere and a used Toro. I was delighted! The first thing DH and I did was to knock the weeds down in our 3 acre north pasture by mowing in tandem. Since it was DREADFULLY hot and we both had lights we started our mowing at 8PM and were mowing in the dark and got it all done. I was SOOO happy that I had my Own riding mower to attach my tow wagon to to do jobs. I had it ONE MONTH, and it started running hard. I Immediately turned it off, pushed it in to store and called the repair guy. He picked it up and I thought I had broken it. He said that a bolt that had been glued (Locktight) had come loose and destroyed the motor....
Last Sunday afternoon the dogs start barking and he shows up with my Toro mower, again. He had found a replacement motor and replaced the old one!!!!!
No phone call, no text, nothing...didn't let me know ahead of time.
I have my Toro back!!!!!! Immediately I mowed behind the barn and started towing. I have been told to ONLY drive it for an hour at a time to keep it from overheating. I am delighted!!!!
As soon as I sell my truck we are buying a Utility tractor, probably later this month.
Btw, found a puppy. She is now 11wo, full blooded GS. The breeder showed me her father's passport from Romania, and told me that the mother's parents are both from Germany. He owns both parents. Her name is "Eva Janie Martel." The "Janie" is from my SIL (1954-1998, RIP), who shares her birthday, July 2nd, and the "Eva Martel" is from a fictional character is DH's books and a script. She is so bouncey that is hard to get an action photo, but I will try!

Smart not to get American GS. The German dogs have much better hips

Ok, THIS is garden remarkable. I am cleaning up my grapes, doing a first cutting after harvesting, planning on severe pruning next February, and I pull up a branch that is touching the ground. It has a root!!!! I assume, bc I have been really busy, that this IS a grape vine, I have already lost 3/8 grape vines and don't want to damage it. Yesterday I am pulling the weeds in preparation to lay down cardboard and chicken compost (just tilled) to get rid of the weeds without spraying and I NOTICE that THIS branch originates on another grape vine!!
Apparantly you CAN get cuttings to root.

I was, frankly amazed and so pleased bc it looks like I am back one vine, making it 6 for 2019.
I WILL get you a picture of this over the weekend.

I transplanted a Bears lime that I had in a huge pot into the ground. It never did well in the pot no matter how carefully I watered the lower part was always dry. There were 2 compost bins that I moved to make room. It is next to my Meyer that is doing well so hopefully it will do better.

My husband says it looks better to see green than compost bins haha. This lime tree is the only thing he has requested for me to grow so it’s special.
