Pretty!
Today I gave my SO a little bowlful of lettuce. It took maybe a dozen, probably more… These are the last ones, very tiny, half of the leaves go to the compost… But it is more than nothing! 
And I had bigger, prettier ones before. Still without heads but it’s fine.
Now I have young iceberg lettuces. Not very enthusiastic ones despite the nice weather. They are few and maybe 3mm… But they have time to grow…
Some plants develop better than others…

So, I just took some old copper wire I found behind the barn, cut a bunch of long pieces- anywhere from 5-9 feet. Depending on the length of the post, I spiral wrapped 2-3 at a tine around the posts. so there would be a few rods in the air.
I had some shorter posts, which I wrapped the shorter wire around
They look kinda quirky, but, I will say there are things growing out there I’ve not had success with- EVER. And, the things I’ve grown before have an astronomical number of blooms and veg. - green beans and peas in particular.

Thank-you! I will try that in my fall garden. Haven’t had a fall garden in 6 years but have some new raised bed containers I am going to grow some root veggies and kale in.

It’s been a while since there was a rainy morning here. Young Elephant Ear leaves catching a bit of water. I got a bulb in late June - one of those end-of-spring-season specials where they’re almost free.
The bulb was severely trimmed - no roots on it at all - but I had to laugh at the size; it was as big as a football. Dug a hole and put some decayed mulch compost down in there, and planted the bad boy.
Nothing visible happened for a few weeks, but now there are 17 shoots showing. It’s fascinating how plants grow.
