I really enjoy your posts how you start your day and plans. I have my coffee too and it is like visiting with an old friend before going to work! Do you have a blog?

I don't start my outside work as early as GrandmaDekorte, but this grandma gets up and fixes breakfast for DS. He starts the coffee while I am getting dressed. Today, I went and put manure around the pole beans that are just coming up and like flowerbug I watered them the other day to give them oomph to get out of the ground and then it rained and they came up, but I have a couple of rows of beans planted on fences and one is running along side the manure pile and the other is on the other side of the fence where tomatoes are planted and they have manure around them and the beans on these fences are huge and dark green compared to the ones just coming up under the poles where I will put the strings for them to climb. I am going to be picking beans morning and evenings this year.

It is starting to produce. Crazy wet weather all at once is a problem so far, but here I am out here running the irrigation because I built it to drain well. And now its acting dry after too much rain. It makes me dizzy.

Set up a teepee for the Rattlesnake Beans to slither up. Put another layer of string on the pea trellis. All the beans look just a little better than they did 2 days ago. Maybe weather more to their liking and a little fertilizer are helping them get past the flea beetles. Maybe the many little Harvestman Spiders are chomping down on them.

Weeded. Finished the onions and the parsnips.

Ya know, pulling multiple weed species outta little parsnips is like playing that game in the funny papers where you have to: "Find at least 6 Differences in Details Between the Panels." I think that I might not have killed a single parsnip!

Hey yall wanna know a secret? I did something that stopped a fungus they say on the net there is no cure for. Its that white fuzzy one with black ball shaped tips that wants to get on squash flowers and then eat the fruit too. I killed that rascal and am very proud. I have been fighting him for almost 10 years now. Had to abandon chemistry and go for the biowarfare of organic control and blow me down I think it has worked. Cornmeal base. Trichoderma prepared mix I purchased, Bacillus Subtillis (seranade). I am beside myself if this is repeatable. It gets wet here. Always a fungus to fight. Here is the usual drill which is basically never worked for me because of our wet climate.

I’ve always prevented it by making sure the blossoms were removed before they could infect the fruit. Nice to know there’s another way.

Me too. But it got ahead with all that wet we had. But I mean it is GONE now. It took about a week to get rolling. I told DW we are gonna reload the cornmeal and re-innoculate before this tropical system hits us tomorrow.
