A squirrel took my first cucumber!

Thank you @thaismarags. I hope you visit again.

Thank you!

I could go back for more!

Thank you!

Nice work! You did a really good job on your dress. Mine? I finally received a new knitting needle and should be able to finish my sweater for next week.

Hi @karbon, well that's exciting news! How have you been?

The squirrels were the worst. I was planting things only to have them digging them up looking for a seed. Grrr... lol

There was a period this spring when the orchids, fuchsia, and hibiscus were all blooming. I have enjoyed growing things since I was a child and feel especially blessed whenever I have indoor flowers.

It has taken awhile. Ideally, I would like flowers all through the summer. It's kind of like an ever changing painting.

I also have some edible flowers! Thanks for dropping by.

I'm really torn about protecting it because a flower bed shouldn't be surrounded with razor wire like a prison. Planting extra beans seemed to be a good strategy and the hyacinths kept squirrels away while

Thank you for the mention @ocd and thank you @coquicoin for finding my post. It's nice to be appreciated.

Thank you @curangel for this recognition and @nikv for finding my post.

Hi @nikv, this is so nice. I was just thinking how I hadn't seen an update from you, and your garden is so different than mine that I really enjoy it.

Oh, no! Your wonderful lupines look so sad now. While I appreciate the rain, it has damaged plants in my garden too. :-(

I hope many of these old beauties will be saved. Thank you very much for posting.

Well done! It's best to take the time and get exactly what you want. I relate on so many levels; illegible notes, mistake, ripping out... needle broke... lol

"whatever these are" -- those flowers are called Teasels.

Well said.
