Seemingly overnight, the air has become filled with the tiny fungus gnats that make their appearance every year around this time. They cover the plants in the garden, float in the water barrels, and stick to the car. If you neglect to wear a hoodie outside, you'll have the little buggers falling out of your hair well after you've come back into the house. If you don't cover your mouth with your hand, you'll be picking them out of your teeth. I'm tempted this year to wear one of my 'covid' masks to keep them out of my nose and mouth. The soundtrack of the fungus gnat experience is filled with pffts!, arhgs!, ffhmmphhs (blowing your nose), and select cursing. Also refrains of, "They're everywhere...", and "How did it get into my eye?!"
A few long-awaited cucumbers are growing in the raised bed. This one was picked this morning. :)
Red Russian garlic bulbils. Almost ready to bring inside to dry.
Some of the tomatoes have finally begun to ripen. Yay! It felt like they never would. (Who, me? Impatient, you say?)
