A few of the baby white pine trees I spotted were in full sun and beginning to yellow so I rescued all 4 today.

They were all on a hill in wood chips on top of landscape fabric. The roots were just starting to pe*****te the fabric. Hopefully I didn’t disturb them too much.

Now for the fun game of not-to-wet, not too dry, and finding the right amount of sunlight. Then figuring out whether to overwinter inside or out 🤔

I planted raspberries along the doe run fence because I know rabbits love the leaves, I love the fruit, it should add some shade eventually, and I’ve never had trouble getting raspberries to grow.

I get a handful every time I go out, and occasionally a leafed out branch droops within a rabbit’s reach and they get a treat 🤣 here’s the result. I moved the stem so maybe the fruit will still ripen 🤷‍♀️

My PSA for the day…

I don’t have a solution for mosquitoes. I use deet, natural sprays, dryer sheets, anything that might work and there’s still a bite or two anytime I go out to work.

But if you haven’t heard of the bug bite thing, you’re missing out. If I use it on a bite, it may not instantly stop the itch but a few hours later there is no sign of the bite. Untreated bites itch for days.

Highly recommended!

Blades got done yesterday. Had to order new bolts ‘cause that 3rd one was disintegrating.

Mowing now takes half the time, not having to overlap 50% and basically mow every square foot twice 🎉

What kind of bird do you think left this behind?

Silly bird, my chicken bedding in the wagon wasn’t a good place to nest. The egg was dry & empty, so no, I did not displace a momma bird.

I love the color of chicory blossoms. I was so sad to discover it’s non-native and probably invasive, but it came with the house (and it’s all over the place in this state) so I’ll just enjoy it ❤️

My new flyswatter arrived today. The old one crapped out on me last week.

Overkill? Probably. Worth it? Maybe not. More enjoyable than shooing flies away or smacking them with a traditional swatter? Definitely.

Bonus feature- when you’re holding it, 90% of the flies disappear. Leave it out of reach, they come right back.

Peppers are doing fantastic this year. We had a very dry spring so I was in no hurry to put them in the ground. I think I got them planted the last week of May.

The next few weeks, I watered with rainwater captured off the garden shed, but since mid-June we’ve had rain every week to 10 days. Haven’t had to run the hoses yet. Hoping El Niño continues to funnel just enough our way to keep them happy 🤞

These are the healthiest my pepper plants have looked in the 6 years since we moved here 😁
