It's What's Up Wednesday!

And it’s another hot one! We’re staying cool out here in Pennsylvania by eating our own body weight in watermelon and avoiding the outdoors in the afternoons. Of course, that means early morning and early evening gardening. 

I may not love this weather, but my garden sure does. 

Thank goodness for dripline and an automated watering timer. My pine flake mulch is settling, so I’m going to put a bit more on my beds today to help lock in all that moisture. I’m growing my zucchini in containers this summer, and it does not have a dripline. This morning I decided to give it a little prune before I watered it.

Do you prune your zucchini? You should.

But quickly, I wanted to discuss a handy little feature available to all of you. In a day and age where the internet is filled with crappy AI websites and misinformation, it can be hard to find good information. Now you can mark your favorite gardening website, Rural Sprout, as a trusted source in Google. This tells Google, “Hey, these guys know their stuff, and I would like to see what they say on the subject before you toss a thousand search results my way.”

Stay cool, my friends, and pass the watermelon!
