That was an amazing fishing trip you were fortunate to be able to do ❤ Very successful. The water looked stunning and the fish didn’t let you down 🙌❤️ Oh my goodness the beach is spectacular, I’m sure Ginger had a blast 😊 Wonderful harvest from your garden, hope the salsa canning goes well 👍 Good luck with the rest of the gardens before the frost comes in. Take care , thanks for sharing another wonderful video ❤🌻

No need to go to the Caribbean to find sand when you have that!! Awesome!! Tomatoes looked like they did well! Cucumbers did absolutely nothing this year...lots of flowers, but no fruit. Always a next year to try something different. Take care and enjoy the week ahead.

It was awesome ! Plant your cucumber seeds right in the dirt 10th of May next year you might get your last frost last week in May if they are up before the last frost just make a hotbed lid for that planter, even through an old blanket over them on cool nights you will have cucumbers :) thanks for the comment

Glad your garden did well :) We never know but the cold spring didn't help any, Up here our last frost mid May the odd time end of the month & first in the fall moon change last couple days of Aug or by the the 10th Sept & this year just after picking tomato's -0c -1c some area's is all we got so far :) Last year very late 24th Sept before it killed the garden, Thanks Paul take care

Pancakes looked absolutely delicious cooked to perfection. Awesome breakfast. Tucker sits and drools when I have a breakfast like that when he knows he's getting some lol. Going to check the African Lion after I finish this one. Wow you killed it with the Tomatoes 🍅 and cucumber 🥒. Awesome job even with you putting limited time in being so busy. Have a great week my buddy
