Nice peach picture. Our peaches all swiveled up and died. But the tree has recovered from a sad period that it had early in the summer. It is a very young tree and this was the first year it began to produce fruit. I am hopeful for next year. Here is the before and after. Now the tree looks fine, but no peaches.

Laurel, next week I will be alone, so I will be eating out! DH does more cooking than me. But I will do make some pickles and freeze some Ratatouille for the fall which will take care of a mess of veggies that are ready to pick. I will also make pesto to freeze. I now don't add the pine nuts or cheese until I am ready to use it as I think it tastes better, so I will be just pureeing the garlic, oil and basil. I grew several kinds, but not crazy about the taste of the lemon one or the tiny leafed one.

Sorry about the skunk. Really stinks.

I had something, eat my cabbage. We sprayed with neem oil, but lost all the cabbage. I still have some good lettuce which I planted it late and in the shade.

I have done nothing today in the garden. I should take a look see. Patti
