Weeds be here!

We are coming up on WEED season. Wait. Dang. We are IN weed season. Things are getting a lot of growth on them though. The hail storm right before the needed rainstorm cut back some of the leaves out there but it looks like most plants survived. We have had some great help replanting some of the things we lost. The first batch of corn is moving on up and the second batch is a little late but getting in this week.

Thursday nights are starting to pick up as the Weeding parties continue. The pool is up and has a newly configured heating system. A new playset is up and ready for swinging and sliding. 

PEAS are coming in and flying out of the garden right now. And the blossoms on the tomatoes show that we will have a record crop this year, no doubt. 

See you down at the garden. 

June and the rise of the 'maters!

     With a handful of work parties over the last few weekends we have almost everything in the ground. Did we mention the tomatoes? there are a lot of tomatoes out there and they are thriving. There is about a row and half outside protected in shade cloth or open-ended 5 gallon buckets to protect them from the wind as the start off. There is an additional row in the green house these year, as well. The first corn has been planted along with everything else. Wanting to have a "start of summer" potluck in the next week to meet the new members and see everyone we have missed over the winter. The new trampoline and setting up the pool will make it a kid happy garden time.  Now we take aim at the bugs and weeds and start thinking about this year's Weed and Beer nights.
