Fourteen the other day and another six today, those bushes are just being shredded. The peppers aren't growing very much at all, the squash is putting out male flowers and the tomato seeds in the pots haven't showed at all. I watered really well in the evening just at sunset it was wonderfully cool at 77 after it being 86 and stifling during the day.
So yesterday Rocky caught a lizard and I saved it, today I walked into the garden and saw an almost invisible Alligator Lizard hanging on the edge of the West bed. I snapped a picture really fast then when I bent down to see if it was alive, it skittered away into the oregano. Guess what, it's the same lizard! It's missing half the tail, now named 'Stumpy'. Well get on little buddy! I should have caught a bunch of caterpillars and put them in a little dish for it. Didn't dare drop them into the oregano randomly because they might have decimated that as well. 
Three good size tomatoes and two small ones had been invaded... dangnabit! Oh yes, a find on the table... neon pink kitchen gloves!
A tad small for my fat fingers but better than nothing. Great for digging in the dirt or looking for worms in the tomatoes.
August 2023 and June 18 2025.
It rained the day before in that first picture, here it is June and summer is in full swing. 
May of 2021no border on that west bed, nothing but the jade bush at the back. Lemon bush is the only plant that's thriving. Not sure why that picture is darker than the others, must not be HD and looks to be about noon given the shadows.
This is why I take so many pictures to have a record of how the garden has evolved.
