I tossed a few - but just like with weed I don't take cuts- no room!

When I bring the garlic in I'll have space..........somewhere after/around the 4th

Tomorrow I'm moving all the hostas and other perennenials from the front garden and expanding it for greens.

It will end up adding about 5 x 8 feet and a bunch of spots. 2 branches to trim and they gain 2 hours of sun.

6 summer squash will be ready to eat in a couple days and I found and ate the first one. It was under a towel lol.

The weather here is crazy good max 78 min 65 rain every 4 days. The pot plants gained 4 inches in 24 hours. Omg the will be stupid. Colas for days. I gave a GMO cake away and am now 10p percent legal. The smell was saying get to 4 lol

I think they will pass 8 feet for sure.

Here's a few pics of the fruiting progress
Only one of these is "almost full" the rest are still paper lanterns with grape-size tomatillos inside. Need to investigate when to harvest them or what to look for. But the other 4 plants are just now closing up some little pollenated flowers.

@H.A.F. if memory serves...wait for the fruit to split the husk at the bottom, they should be about ready to harvest at that point.

Been a while since I grew tomatillos, but I think that how we did it.


When the time comes, throw a few on the grill and char them up good, make a nice smoky, fire roasted Salsa Verde.

Looked it up and it said as soon as they pretty much fill the husk. The longer you leave them the sweeter they get. They lose that tartness.

I have Serrano's and Japs to roast with them

My tomatoes are in a conspiracy against me.
I have tomatoes that have been the same size for weeks and they refuse to turn.

They say patience is a virtue - I am not very virtuous

It's also a song by Guns & Roses, so there's that.

@BigBallzWillie I have gotten about half a dozen cherry tomatoes, and this morning took the first hot pepper and tomatillo. They're in the window sill until I have enough for a pico.

Spikey bastards they are. They should be renamed Mother inlaw ivy

I have roses all in the garden...you guys just never had an evil xwife to appreciate a thorn in a rose....BITCH, Every time i think of her.

The only roses i like are tattoos. But they bring in pollinators.



They are a pretty damned flower but wow. And those big thorn ones are nice compared to these other ones i have that have thorns like steel wool hair. Spooky.

Ok i have to deal with the garden. I have been putting it off but its time. LETS DO THIS

There are literally thousands of plants with flowers that attract pollinators and have NO THORNS.

I inherited a few Roses in the garden I took over . Every year I hack the crab out of them with a take that you son of a bitch technique, yep your not gonna make it this time and each year they spring back with defiance . Surely the work of the devil or the wife nursing them back to life while I’m away .
