My ladies got a recent treat - mushy banana and over-ripe apples. They love the bananas! Today, I'm most likely crushing ice for them. The heat will be high today.
Our popcorn, pinto beans, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, (re-planted) shell peas, and radishes are all up. This could be a very busy year for us, which we needed.
I have not re-planted the medicinal herbs in pots just yet. I think I have more raccoons that previously calculated. Something ate the wine cork off my herb marker. My guess is raccoon. Squirrels won't come up looking for cat food.
Rain did not arrive as the forecast stated. I have been doing quite a bit of watering here lately. There are a few more items to plant. I'm going to try and get them in today, but who knows.
Rain is a 40% chance today. Yesterday it was 35% chance and we got zero.
As for the neighbor, the so-called "park" is closed (or no one is going). One person posted he fled the state, but we sat on the front porch and watched him load stuff into his car. We also watched people drive by the place, driving very slowly.
Looks like ticket buyers are taking some serious action against him. He gave them the "address" of the park location, but the post office told ticket buyers there is no way to receive mail there. Therefore, anyone looking for it, won't find it, and if any has mailed tickets back for their refund, they will be getting their tickets returned to them. One person stated they drove over to find it, and could not, and told people it didn't exist. They said they spoke to "locals" and it was all a scam. It just keeps getting more interesting. And this is a comment from one person:
"I agree this is not right! When I saw him announce this I knew he couldn't pull it off because when I was with him he was extremely mad because the town was giving him a problem with the park. He has a bad temper behind close doors so I said nothing about it. This is the *#$% (deleted a naughty word) he does and then runs."
I'm not sure, but in time, the public will know about this. I'm surprised it hasn't made the local news here yet.
I best get out to the garden. The clock is a tickin' and the heat is going up quickly today. We do not have the last air conditioner unit in yet either. Looks like I won't have ice cold watermelon that I just bought last last night. One of my kids ate the entire bowl of it after I went to bed. Grr! I'm not a happy Mom right now. I work out in the heat, so the next watermelon is getting locked up tight. We did not plant watermelon this year, so buying it is a real treat for me.
On a good note: I was able to change the weight loss number today on my blog. The scale moved. This is a great achievement for me.

Congrats on the weight loss. Good for you.
As for the news not knowing about your neighbor's scam, surprised they haven't gotten it from the police blotter, but you know "anyone" (wink, wink) could anonymously tell the news stations simply by going to their website, filling out a webform there and telling them about it.
Prayers everyone has a safe happy week.
God bless.
