What's going on in your garden (2018-2022)?

Physalis is how I know it. Not seen them for a while.

I'm happy to report that we grew potatoes and onions!

I promptly turned them into roast potatoes and fried onions, served them up with some rib eye steak. My wife and daughter loved the meal.

PS I didn't actually plant any onions..... I must have missed them last harvest and somehow they survived over winter and just grew.

I made a video of the entire thing, kind of like writing a diary, but much more time consuming.

in my garden the worms are sending up red flares to be rescued from drowning . . . .
(it's a Henri thing....)

Right now??? Lotsa Rain! In driving sheets of the stuff.

As with CookieMonster, it is a Henri thing. Henri is ornery.

I came through the remnants of Hurricane / Tropical Storm Henri unscathed but soggy. I'm not near the coast so I've not experienced what those folks went through.

We have another rainstorm dumping on us right now. Wet but without wind.

It's a hurricane that hit the NE coast of the US in the last few days. Not a strong hurricane, but it still stirred up a mess.

Apologies. I saw the hurricane on the news but failed to recognise the reference.

It´s rained (real tropical rain) virtually every single day this month. The tomato plants drowned, the long peppers drowned; the only thing that survived was a pumpkin. Plus I have to cut the grass every 10 days because it grows too fast!

10 days? I have to mow every five days. That's without heavy rain. If I wait longer, the grass browns after I mow it, and takes a week to recover.

Different climate. I imagine. Caracas is almost 1000 mts above sea level, average temperature 26°C, hot and humid in the rainy season. In the dry season ( December- April) I don´t cut the grass at all!
