Great photo of those blue and white things. What do you call those things @Rikki Gins ?
I need to eat some hemp gummy bears as I listen to the Woodland Bop.
 

That was a passing cloud over my EllGab Garden West, @FISH.  The cloud at center towards the bottom kind of looks like an airplane, but it reminded me of Marc's song, especially the sun bird streaking across the sky, part.  So I put the two together.

I have this 81 year old neighbor who asks me year after year (8 years now) to watch over his house and water his garden corner when he heads back to Saskatchewan every summer for the annual family reunion. He has a cucumbers haven in the lil greenhouse.


He's gone for three weeks this time and I'm already worried about his carrot row 5 days in. I may be back with a picture to ask for help.

@FISH They are wilting. We had some heavy, HEAVY rain a few days ago followed by a few days of scorching heat. I can't tell if it's too much water or not enough.. might have to post a picture. He can't come back to dead vegies on my watch! I'll be ruined, tarnished and shamed, only to be run out of the neighborhood like a common pygmy.


..yeah, I'll post a picture. You beautiful fuckers better help me

@KSM
Carrots require about an inch of water per week to reach their full potential. ... Before watering carrots, dig down about 4 inches into the soil beside the plants. If the soil is moist, you're probably in good shape. If it's dry, it's time to water.

Aren't carrots an early root crop?  I thought that they were supposed to be planted in early spring and harvested in early summer. It sounds like your neighbor's carrots have grown past their prime, and they certainly will be by the time he gets back.  If he's a half decent gardener, he should understand why his carrots aren't looking so good.

Carrot neglect is a serious offense in Canada.

My post was funny. I stand by it.

@FISH Here is a link to a wonderful garden I visited today.  During this trip I am trying to not be a slave to my phone or camera as I visit places. I snap a few to be able to jog my memory later but I will post a few as time and wifi signal permits as I travel around. This link has some fairly recent pictures that shows how large this garden is.
