Straight from the garden into the jar I don’t can them yet, I like keeping that crunch 😅 Dill the other day, sweet today ✨ How do you preserve your cucumbers? 🥒 Any canning secrets to keep that crunch? 🤤 #Pickles #RefrigeratorPickles #GardenHarvest #HomegrownFood #RelaxAndGarden

one of the best parts 💚

I love coming home and seeing all the pollinators in my garden 🐝🦋🌸 It’s one of the best parts 💚 (the cicadas are LOUD today 😂) #Pollinators #Bumblebee #RedAdmiral #Coneflower #GardenLife

This is bacterial wilt from cucumber beetles 😬🌿

Once it starts, there’s no cure, so I’m pulling the vine to protect the rest of the plants If you see sudden wilting like this, act fast and remove affected vines before it spreads #CucumberBeetle #BacterialWilt #GardenProblems #RelaxAndGarden #emergingcreator

Not all garden visitors are bad 🐝💚

Hoverflies are beneficial visitors in the garden, they help with pollination and pest control 🌼 #Hoverfly #Pollinators #GardenLife #BeneficialInsects #RelaxAndGarden
