Such a lot to have got done! And that front garden just gets better and better looking, season after season. (Oh, I wish my community permitted us to grow food gardens instead of turf lawn in our front yards! Other than foundation plantings [shrubs, usually] nothing is supposed to grow taller than six inches. Pah!)
Trying to do most of my garden tasks in the early or late parts of the day when the sun's not so intense, but it's the sun itself and not the heat that I'm avoiding.

You know you can find those zip ties in basic black, right, so you don't have to deal with spray painting them?

Loving the sweet potatoes!
Last season, as I mentioned at the time, we had far too many slips unless we intended to monocrop only sweet potatoes (which we didn't) and were looking to find *local* fellow gardeners to take those off our hands (we did find them and shared out the slips but we never heard back about how those worked out); this year we purchased slips already started from a local garden center. But last season I did see the niftiest thing and I wonder if you'd find it helpful: a gardener set up trellises for the sweet potato vines which keeps them from meandering all over the garden. Super clever, it seemed to me. And tidy, and economical of space.

Used to get loads of swallowtail butterflies in the garden, but not so many lately. Planting dill and fennel, which they love, to give them an option other than celery, which *I* love.

This is a wonderful, delightful video, my dear friend. Love you visiting with your neighbors! Thank you for including that and not editing it out.

Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio! 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊
