Pulled some ripe cantaloupe today. About 8-12 more out in the vines. I saved the seeds from last years crop and will probably do the same again. These are beauts and delicious!

Squash time. Picked about half of the ripe squash on the vine. A lot of butternut and honey boat squash this year. Temps cooling a bit and squash season is getting me excited for fall.

We're in September. We ski in November. So only one more month without skiing!!

Previous owners planted peppermint and rosemary, anyone have tips on how to care for them? Do they even require any additional care? 
 

also have a rose bush at the corner of the walkway that overhangs into the entrance of the garage door that needs to be trimmed, I’ll take any tips or tricks you have for that so I don’t kill it as it’s a very appealing bush to the eyes.

peppermint will spread like a bad weed if you let it, keep it in check. I never had any luck with roses can't help you there

Yeah, that looks like a pretty decent spot for the mint, since it likes to spread out by root or just above the soil offshoots, you can probably keep it contained fairly well in that spot. Don't let it flower or it could end up spreading via seed as well.

 

Similarly with rosemary, it's very hardy and perennial as long as winter isn't particularly harsh, it can come back the next year. In my experience it does well if you keep it trimmed.

I also know nothing about roses

Thanks guys, good to know about the mint, I had no idea it was that invasive and spread that easily. There is basil next to the mint but the basil isn’t looking too great. I’ll have to start figuring out a way to trim and dry the rosemary effectively, my shed is one of the plastic and aluminum build a shelf type deals so I’m thinking it’ll dry well in there upside down. It should come back every year, winters aren’t too harsh down here. PO had snapdragons planted that came back.

So the Phillies held a fan social media vote to determine what logo to cut into the outfield. How many likes would it take to get @toast21602 to mow PASR into his lawn?? 😂

@Kyle- Roses are hardy. It'll be okay.

If you prune roses, do it soon. Once it hits June, it's typically not recommended.

Lillies are starting to bloom, adding some nice color to the small bed out front. 

[Kyle]

I don’t know what these are, but the bulbs popped today and they look great. Back in April when I bought the house I was tempted to dig up the front garden these flowers were located in to extend the front patio a bit, and how that they have started blooming in very very happy I didn’t do so, adds nice color and appeal to the front of the house. 
 

now, if only it would rain so my grass would come back full and strong…..

Looks like lilies. 

Maybe stargazer variety after poking around on Google

The last two days of berry harvest has been fantastic. Brought in 3lbs of beans last night too, but no picture of those. Even with the last few weeks being pretty dry things have been doing well.

[toast21602]

6lbs of beans picked today. Raspberries are exploding but blueberries are starting to dwindle. Still picking at least a pint every night.

It’s the season!
