Earlier in the week, I went out and picked tomatoes. Many of them have bites out of them, and some are up too high on the plant to be rabbits. Do I have a coon? Chipmunks? Squirrels? A significant portion of the heirloom plants have disappeared.

I need to water the pots, but I don’t have time. Also, the mosquitoes are fierce in the garden. I am totally frustrated as the garden is a disaster and I don’t have time to take care of it. . Thank God it rained as the plants needed water in the worst way.

I planted the 16 green pepper plants that had been sitting on the deck for the past month. I p ut them i nthe first bed where the greens had been. This will replace the ones that the rabbits ate.That took me up to almost 6:00. I hoped to get more done, but I ran out of time.
