Another one down, another tunnel plugged

 Weather continues the same, the garden... I had a dream that another marigold would be gone and remember yelling and trying to pull it away from a gopher. 

 

 It wasn't completely eaten but enough of the roots were gone that it wouldn't have survived. ::insert many rude words:: Both tunnels are now blocked and I shoved the trowel into another soft spot. I also ran water in the new hole and sure enough it didn't fill up for at least a minute. I shoved that log in there and it only blocked it a little, made sure it was good and tight though.

Cucumber is starting to grow faster thankfully, watered everything really well and then planted cucumbers in the south bed. But, I noticed something when I went to do that.

 

 A seedling of something is coming up. Not sure if it's cucumber, bean or sunflower. Where the heck was that when I was digging things up? Either my memory is getting really bad and don't remember planting after I flooded it or it survived and came to the surface enough to sprout.

 Well, good things do happen oddly enough, you lose one another grows to take it's place.

 

 

 

I put in three or four cucumber seeds as evenly spaced as I could. I originally dropped three seeds but then used a stick to poke them in and hit one with a snap so I was going to hedge my bets and say I broke that seed and put another one in the same spot. If they both come up, one will either get moved or will keep them both there.

You think I would markup the photo at the time or put sticks or something to show where they are but nooooo, not that smart because it's hot and I'm in the sun and holding a hose that's spraying water and all that. Can hardly see my phone screen in the sun so I'm lucky to get good photos what I'm doing (and yes I have brightness all the way up, it's the glare).

Anyway, in other places around the complex, the tree is being taken care of and I found where the gopher was following the wall to the garden. I will not likely be here when that clump of trees gets big enough to be a problem. Not my plant, not my garden, not my problem.

We shall see how things develop, just wish there was an easier way of keeping those damn gophers from eating my plants.
