I'm sick today, so not doing much gardening. Was sick yesterday and pushed myself to get some things done. Moved part of the clay pile, cleaned up some of the back yard. Worst part, where the dog likes to chew things up. Tilled part of the back yard. Pulled out the weed eater for areas where I can't till. So front and back look better. All that had to be done in spurts, lying on the couch in between. Have to work tonight, so not doing that today.

Now up to ten pumpkins growing! None of great size yet and most are minis but still something for Halloween. Giants are about to flower. Should see first flowers in the next three days.

Weather is gradually cooling. Warm now but forecast is for 70's day and upper 40's night next week. Not sure about tomatoes in those temps. Wait and see. Soil won't have a chance to cool too much at night if I water in the morning. So they be okay.

Lots more green bean vines now climbing and flowering.

Still no lettuce or spinach seen. But am seeing the rare carrot, planted months ago. Maybe more will pop up soon. Maybe.

Think I'm going back to sleep.I'm sick today, so not doing much gardening. Was sick yesterday and pushed myself to get some things done. Moved part of the clay pile, cleaned up some of the back yard.
