#today Started to harvest some of the Honeynut squash that #BeetBear says is ready to go. He especially wanted to try this variety which is new to us because it has "Honey" in it's name. Looks like we'll have plenty for the autumn and winter...😀

#today It was time to dig up all of the spent corn stalks so they could be transported to the local history center to be used as decorations for their Autumn festival. #BeetBear was a big help and did most of the hard work, stopping only to pose for his beauty shots. Now we're hoping they show up with their truck in the next few days to pick them up.

#today #BeetBear helped out by doing some berry picking in the drizzly morning #garden . He also decided it was time to inspect the third planting of #sweetcorn to determine it's readiness. His conclusion was that we wait at least one more day to continue our cornfest summer.

@munrobear #BeetBear says he will swap you for some Jalapeños. Our blueberries are over for the season. 😀

#today #BeetBear and I harvested our onion crop (Ailsa Craig). He helped me set them out to cure in the garage. I have to say, I'm envious of those folks who show pictures of their onions all laid out so neatly after harvest. My make-shift drying arrangement always looks like a tornado just swept through. A good crop, anyway! 😀

@benben Do you garden yourself? If so, where (approx) we'd love to hear about your #gardening! BTW #BeetBear says hello! 😀

#today #BeetBear is back from his daily chores in the #garden and is partaking of his reward of today's raspberry harvest. It's well-earned. I could not get by without his help. 😀

@lunaria_silent22 Hello! There are a lot of interesting folks here who post using the #gardening tag. #BeetBear says hello, too. Where (approximately) do you #garden ?

@msbee Hello from Southern New England. #BeetBear and I particularly follow the #gardening tag among others. 😀

@robyn@regenerate.social @robyn@mastodon.gardensoul.org Hello! #BeetBear and I wish you happy gardening!

#today #BeetBear stirred his stumps and came out to admire the fruits of his labor! He posed with the Jalapeño, Beet, Eggplant, and Cabbage. Good work. 😃

#today #BeetBear inspected the 2nd planting of corn. He determined that it was ready to be planted out tomorrow, and brought in his digging adviser Mr. Mole to make plans.

#BeetBear took over today and first went out to check on the pole beans we planted a few days ago. He was pleased to see that they have begun to sprout so he offered them some encouragement. He then set about harvesting some lettuce (Muir) (SummerCrunch) and set out some fresh lettuce seedlings in the gaps where the harvested lettuce was. Of course, he watered everything in before he came in to have is bacon sandwich with LOTS OF LETTUCE!

#today #BeetBear took the day off, but instructed me to get out there and uncover all the zukes and cukes to give them a full day in the warm spring sunshine. He also asked me to plant up 4 windowboxes with snapdragons to set out in the front of the house. Got it done. Just came back in from putting all the totes back over the squashes, etc. for the night. Goin' to put me feet up now.

@dnc #BeetBear approves! 😀

#today A follow up on the planting of the squashes and cukes. I've got them under make-shift cloches for the next few nights. Cloches are really translucent white plastic totes that I salvaged from one of my former workplaces as they were closing up and moving away. They've been doing duty here as weather protection and veg. hauling for quite a few years now. #BeetBear sat in his supervisor's chair and offered encouragement. We're dun fer the day!

#today #BeetBear told me the weather looked good and that it was time to set out the squashes and cukes. He helped me measure out the spacing for each hill of planting and supervised the rest of the planting. We have now set out the Sunburst Squash, Zucchini Elite, and Cuke Marketmore. Everything got watered in and will be covered with my makeshift cloches this evening. Meanwhile the ast. gardener, Dixie is on pest duty while basking in the catnip.

#today it has been 2 weeks since #BeetBear and I started our first planting of the sweetcorn. We planted them out in the garden and got them watered in. After dinner we will start the next 32 pots of seeds for our next planting in two weeks time.

#today #BeetBear and I rolled the dice and set out 26 tomato plants. We have Jet Star, Brandywine, and Supersweet 100. Started from seed and potted on a few weeks ago. They have formed a good root system and were planted DEEP. They then got a shot of 0-4-4 liquid seaweed and got a bit of shredded leaf mould as mulch. Now we keep our fingers crossed and the fleece ready if it gets too cold! BTW did you know that all gardening bears are left-handed?
