Wishing you a wonderful week as well!<br /><br />Mary - yes, I think all gardens are getting overrun with weeds about now. I hope you do plant a few things for fall! Thank you for the good wishes for Ollie - he is indeed a huge part of our life. I like your thoughts of R&R!!Staci Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067119970666863558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990217242364259191.post-77356091372849877972022-07-20T19:27:30.408-04:002022-07-20T19:27:30.408-04:00So grateful for the rain we received as well...alt...So grateful for the rain we received as well...although the garden is full of weeds now. Oh well, that's on Saturday's to-do list! Terrific you're planting fall veggies in your raised beds...I've never done that, but such a good idea - you inspired me, maybe I'll drop a few seeds in, too! I understand how you worry about Oliver...they're such a big part of our families, aren't they? Sending him good wishes...and you too, take a little R&R for yourself. Feet up, something cool to drink, a good book.

I'll bet you're selling a lot of bug spray. I made one recently with EO and it seems to be working.<br /><br />The garden is doing well and it sounds like you have a good jump on the fall plantings.

Regarding the bug spray, without the wintergreen it will still be pretty effective but if mosquitoes are a main pest for you, you'll want to add the wintergreen. An abundant fall harvest indeed!Staci Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067119970666863558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990217242364259191.post-78766982986238382412022-07-18T21:22:54.128-04:002022-07-18T21:22:54.128-04:00I should try the bug spray!

Everything seems so much happier when it gets adequate rain. <br /><br />Sweet Oliver. I hope he'll do well for a good while. I also sowed fall crops today... broccoli, cabbage, kale, beets and collards. My husband sowed carrots yesterday. Here's to an abundant fall harvest for us both!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156180100389224114noreply@blogger.com
