@subdood_ky_z6b Thank you. Have to admit I was proud of those onions. Never had such a good harvest before.
What a good kitty with beautiful eyes. Yes, those sweeties are worth their weight in gold, else we would be overrun with vermin. It is so cute how they are proud of their catch and want to share it with you. Got to have cats if you are in the country!

I tried growing onions from seed this year, I wanted to do what you did. I got them sprouted in a shallow pot, but neglected them, so they shriveled up 
. Too many other crises to deal with I guess.
Yes, Theo is a good cat, altho a bit clingy, but I’m glad he’s got used to us. I think he’s the 6th cat we’ve had, the longest time one’s been here has been 5 years. It’s hard keeping them from wondering off after the ladies, but this one’s fixed so that ought to help keep him around.
He has a habit of standing at the storm door on his back feet, and pawing at it trying get our attention. Most time we ignore him, but sometimes we let him in for treats.

I found first ripe apples dropped from my novamac on b9 espellar yesterday. July 23.
2 novamacs, 1 trailman.
The trailman was from a graft I added this spring… it bloomed and set 5 fruit… I thinned to 1… then It grew a other 1.5 ft and is still growing.
Love the taste of both… trailman is a little sharper, zippy… but still very good.
Also had some yellow crookneck squash, big beef and sungold tomatoes.

First thing this year out of the garden, picked yesterday…
Pretty good, don’t know what variety, tho. More are on the way.

Tomatoes, beans, okra, cucumbers, and some fresh sweet corn. I ate 6 ears. Can’t hold any more. I will have about 30 ears to pick tomorrow. Most will go in the freezer as creamed corn.

I picked some Monark apples these last two days. They are very good apples and are not soft like most of the early apples. I will cut them up and freeze some and eat the rest. I am glad I put the Monark apple in my orchard. So far I have picked approximately 100 lbs of apples and there are about another 40-60 lbs of apples left on the tree. Our temps have been in the high 90’s and with the high humidity the temps have felt like 106 ±. So the apples have been easy to pick and many have dropped on the ground. They were ripe here last year on July 18. Since the temps have been so high I did not go out and pick them before they fall on the ground.
