Awesome squash! EEEEK on the snake - King Snake (eats the noisy ones) - still EEEEK!

It was just a little garden snake but after almost being bit in the face by a snake when I was a little girl. NO THANK YOU!! The spider didn't bother me except for startling but I decided that was the spiders home and as long as it doesn't come into my home I won't be in his/hers.

Over the years, I've been able to control my "fear jitters" but not my dislike

I went out and turned the water on to the garden. I'm really bummed though because I haven't gotten any peppers at all this year. Last year I was overwhelmed with peppers, zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes. This year I have gotten tomatoes, yellow squash, green beans and a couple of cushaw pumpkins and a a bit of strawberries.

Down here my luck with peppers is ho-hum. BUT --- If I leave the plant in, the second year is great. Zone 9-something and 1200ft

Last year was awesome for peppers but this year I have had the worst garden ever except for the fact that I now have a small strawberry patch.

I haven't been on in a while but I have been really busy. I'm working on making some pomegranate jelly. I haven't ever canned anything in my life. I'm so concerned that I am going to mess it up. I also got about 40 lbs of pomegranates.

Jelly failures are called pancake syrup, just so you know.

Oh yes. My mom had a jelly failure and my kids and I went through that syrup in about 2 weeks. 4 people are about 2 or more quarts of syrup

I'm positive my jelly failed. Not even syrup I think. It's more tart now than before I cooked it. Oh well, I'm only human so it's a live and learn experience.

I’m laughing because most of us have been there. You will get this and this is just a little bump along the way.
