While the family was out Sunday morning I looked after the new garden plants remaining. Squirrels and rabbits ate all the hollyhocks and some sunflowers.

Vegetable garden is slow except for the watermelons. View attachment 105651

Something has been munching my sunflowers, too. I haven't done anything to protect them, though.

I have a couple new hollyhock I need to get in the ground. I've never tried to grow them before.

They say they don’t like to be transplanted. I usually grow them in the house until they are well established. No bigger than a one gallon soft pot. Lots of sun and water. If it’s happy it will end up over 6’. You’ll have hundreds of seeds for the next year. Plus it will come back at least one more year but I’ve had up to three for the same plant.

Watch out for bugs and rabbits. They only seem to eat the leaves. I failed to cover last years this spring and the rabbits ate them because they are early to come up.

We had a ton of rain on Fri the river raised around 4ft I was thinking there's going to be the chance of some salmon fishing this week.

I hooked and landed 1 salmon and lost 1 other after about 10/15 seconds of hooking it...it was still a good tug!

The tug is the drug!

Looks like an anti aircraft artillery round. Cool find!
My job in the Army was artillery and I've collected a few pieces like a timed fuse head, a spacer used in a nuke round, and flechettes from a beehive round but nothing for shooting down airplanes.

I covered it with plastic and smoke bombed them...star dog 1 aphids 0

The smoke bombs are only £3/4 each they're very effective on the usual suspects.

My apple tree has recovered its doing ok now.
