    Looks good @Logan :) I've made sure there isn't a hole in the fruit tunnel netting this year, blackbird ate the lot last year :rolleyes:

    Thanks @Zigs sorry to hear about your fruit last year in the poly tunnel, we've have trouble with those wood pigeons this year, put a lot of tin foil in strips hanging on the bushes, it does work but have to have a lot.

    @Willowisp0801 I'm not in the town with the column. I'm inland about 100 miles. The Vista House and Multnomah falls are in the town where I live in the Columbia River Gorge

    They have long winters like the folks in the northern part of the country, (this country) have and their sun is really low in the sky in winter so, eventhough the winters don't go much below 20°f, ( like in my zone) they can't grow some of the stuff I can since there's not enough sun and the cold stays around much longer than it does where I live.

    Today I got 1/2 of the grass cut and weedeated then I got 6 eggplants from my two egg plants. After cooking the eggplants we got two thunderstorms: one @ 4:15 and the next @ 7:30 pm which is still going on.

    @Zigs, I only put perennial seeds in the fridge, never annuals.

    It is hot and steamy and the sun shone today. :) I did get more weeding and pruning done today. My friend still has not showed up for some flowers yet.

    I did get a few more raspberries, and a colander of green beans from my garden. Apparently some of my bush beans crossed with the scarlet runner beans because some of them have red flowers...

    I have to take a lot of rests in the heat... and drink lots of water.
