Creatures Great and Small
Sorry, these are kind of like “Where’s Waldo”: two dogs, tree frog, frog, and anole. Love this part of gardening without pesticides. Wildlife is everywhere.

Vertical Trellis
First time trying out this type of trellis and it works great. Growing cherry and pear tomatoes and they are getting tall. So easy to reach.
Patio dream come true! It’s a pergola.
Before and after. Now just need to decide what kind of vine(s) to grow on it…
My kind of bouquet
In mid-may, most of my lettuce and cilantro has gone to seed. I’m pulling all that is left. I put it in a brown paper bag until I plant in November. Heirloom rocks.
The feeling of satisfaction
When you install a birdhouse and a bird moves in. Feels so good.
Note: Pic is blurry but memory is not. Chuckle.
Squash vine borer and squash bug
That is a shame. Two enemies of the squash and other cucurbit veggies. I normally get a few squash harvests, then, I wave the white flag and pull my plants.
Caught one in a hand vacuum 
Squash Vine borer
Got some squash, zucchini, trombone squash before the bugs and heat took them.
