Wow – this guy will NOT shutup! He comes to my garden all the time for sunflower seeds but his main mission in life is to give my cat hell. I know where my cat is at all times by the loud screaming this bird does. He dive bombs my cat and comes within a few feet of him. Years ago my cat killed his mate and he has never got over it. My cat is going a little crazy as well as I am. I have to admire his spunk!
Picture of my little harvest today. Then I sprayed all the veggie garden with VF-11.
and here is a little later where the squash
and peppers were stir fried :))
I got a coupon for Edan Plains Nursery and got this plant for free. I put it in a hanging basket in the Veggie garden.
It says it can be used as a lawn because it’s a good ground cover but I like how it seems to hang so I thought basket would be best.
I also fertilized the all of the veggie garden today.
This cool little plugin I found that makes inserting your picasa gallery easy. No more cut and paste. Just click and insert.
Gosh I can’t wait for my sunflowers to bloom. I hope they are just as pretty this year!

What happens when you have a puppy and an iPhone with little fun apps? The garden is OK but in momma’s arms is where he would rather be!
Got this in the email today from gardeners about cucumber beetles being a problem in the garden. I am having some trouble with my squash and my cucumber plants suddenly looking very wilted and brown spots on the leaves. I will post pics of what they look like. I was concerned I would not get any squash but yesterday when I looked I saw one giant one I overlooked. I hate that when that happens!
I took a picture of the cucumber beetle and it appears we have the spotted kind out here although I do not see too many of them on the plant. Not sure how many it takes for it to be a problem. I did the test of cutting the leaf and measuring the stickiness and it failed that test so perhaps it’s some other problem.

Had to bring my new special boy out to see my garden. He ate flowers and bugs and many other things he shouldn’t have 🙂
