Skiadikt, your garden looks great. I am almost done eating the lettuce and the radishes. I've picked my first tomatoes and grape tomatoes and cucumbers. String beans are coming along too.

In the flower garden, some of my impatients have died or are in the process of dying. I will have to find some other type of flowers to replace them. The rose bushes seem to have some kind of fungus and I need to spray them but have not found the time to do it.

Impatient can't take full sun when it's hot out, in part shade they do great.....try petunias in full sun, they are pretty drought resistant as well.

I know all about impatients not doing well in the sun and these were planted in areas that they get partial sun (in the shade most of the day). Strange that others planted in other areas (also in partial sun) are doing fine.

The likely source is an airborne fungus that has spread far and wide by wind. Be careful, it could spread to your roses, tomatoes and other plants.

Haddock caught by f.a.s.t. and Mrs. f.a.s.t. off the New Hampshire coast on Sunday was soaked in buttermilk for 2 hours, lightly battered with flour and cornmeal, then fried with a knob of butter and canola oil. Picked cherry tomato, cucumber and basil this morning from our back yard garden for our salad. The zucchini and summer squash was also picked this morning and then sautéed in a homemade brown butter and a little fresh cracked pepper and black salt.

broccoli yes. blueberry bushes were there. just bird proofed them. looking to plant raspberry & blackberry this fall.

the zukes have been unbelievable. that's half the harvest w/more coming. planted 2 green & 2 yellow plants but for some reason the yellows have been twice as prolific.

anxiously waiting to see what the brussels do. plants looking good. and the tomatoes ...
