54 degrees on a beautiful morning, going up to 81 and looks good through the weekend.
Today Nadene and I go to our garden for the first time in two weeks. Friends helped weed, so we aren't sure what we are going to find.
as long as they shut the gate door when they left I'll be happy. so far our solar electric fencing has been totally effective at keeping ground critters out.
So far the lettuce, radishes, broccoli and strawberries have been a big success. Once the ground dries out we are hoping the everbearing strawberries will regroup and start again; we had to clip off all the rain overloaded mushy ones. The spinach did not turn out well, nor the peas. We seem to get one or two pea pods on a tiny plant and then the plant croaks. Water and fertilized, maybe bad mojo, but two years in a row and I think peas are coming off the menu.
After more than a foot of rain here, I have no idea what we will find today.
Maybe a giant beanstalk growing up past the scarecrow out of sight? well, that might be the meds talking...
And like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, how does one harvest a magic beanstalk?
I just have this silly picture of farmgirl's two beagles sitting at the bottom of that beanstalk, looking up intently, just waiting
for the word to climb. Hmm, do beagles climb?
have a nice day all.
