Not much going on in the container garden except bad news.

The yellow and zucchini squash plants have glossy stems near the potting mix up a few inches on some of the plants and lost a couple plants. The others still alive look like they have weak stems.

I cut out and uprooted all the tomato plants except one that has a cluster of tomatoes to ripen yet.

I uprooted one eggplant that was done for the season. Only have one eggplant left on the remaining one.

The butternut squash plants all died.

Some of the peppers are still getting fruit rot.

The Siberian tomato seedlings and the Charleston pepper plant seedlings do not look to healthy but I transplanted three tomatoes and three peppers today in containers. The containers are sitting vacant anyhow. See what happens.

The flowers in the front yard are still alive and struggling. The torenia plant in a flower pail in the back yard is doing real well. The begonias I planted in the vegetable containers are doing real well.

I took those sleigh bells I found in a box sorting papers and hung them on a chain for wind chimes on the back deck. I used chains that was left over from when I repaired toilet flappers and had enough key rings to hook the bells to. CLANG, CLANG CLANG go the sleigh bells in a strong enough wind.

Sooo, not much going on in the container garden until fall planting in end of August and September.
