I like the ebb and flow of my garden. I spent the weekend assessing and cleaning up out there. Cucumbers finished their cycle so they got yanked. Lemon balm was taking over and I’m not sure what to do with it anyway so it got chopped waaaaayyyy back. Same with the basil. I had planned to have the basil ready so when my tomatoes got ripe I could make bruschetta and sauce, but the tomatoes are not cooperating so they are coming out.
On the other hand, my squash is doing great, unlike last year. Last night for dinner I sauteed diced squash with some beef bacon and the last of the red onion I had grown. Delish!
With all the work I’m doing in the garden, I’m not finding many snails right now and now I know why. Possums are good snail and slug eaters.
Well, hello there!
I surprised this little possum when I walked out the front door and it ran straight into the cat’s box! No one said they were smart! 
We still have a good growing season ahead of us so keep your gardens vibrant by filling in with a second round of plants when the first round finish their cycles. I visited Walter Andersen Nursery on yesterday morning for some cactus soil and ended up bringing home some new veggies to plant. I’ll try to grow some more cucumbers, beans and tomatoes. Maybe I’ll have better luck with tomatoes now that it’s getting warmer. I hope…..
