Summer Solstice in the Garden

Happy Summer Solstice everyone! I took this image above as it's just west of our Potager at 6:45am 6/21/19. 

Here is a closer look and it smells wonderful!  If you click on the image and look in the bottom left-hand corner you will find a mosquito has landed on it.

Today,  in the Potager Juliet looked in need of some help so I helped her out with the stretch tape we purchased yesterday.

This Black Krim appears to be doing better. I  had pulled off a bunch of its leaves. If you recall we have been hit with a lot of water here and often where tomatoes are concerned too much water is just as bad as too little. 

We did get to a few sales today. I picked up a decent set of garden tools. I am nuts about garden tools. These tools are sturdier than the ones I have had in the past and they have the grip handles I appreciate. It seems one can never get enough new tools for gardening. 

We also bought a small folding ladder which we're using for cucumbers to climb. 

We decided since we were in Indiana to travel to Berne and search for some plant sales.  We came back with a trunk full. Most vegetable plants and herbs but I did pick up a few pollinators plants too.

We returned home and unloaded our items. After some quick instructions from the hubby, I was able to run the tiller and expanded another 3 feet by 30-feet section tonight so I could plant what we got today.  When I was done, the hubby came out and helped me move some pavers into the potager. It was a great day! But I'm about beat so heading to bed soon. You can find more details about our day in the garden diary.

Happy gardening, Lori
