After The Storms

 I was worried when I went to bed last night hearing the rain.  We got a ton of rain!  A ton!  Like hurry and get the ark built rain!

 Murph called early this morning to see how the garden did in the storm.  I told him that I had no idea I couldn't find my scuba suit.

In between the tomatoes and strawberry beds there was three inches of standing water.

The newly planted cucumbers were loving it!

The pumpkins took a beating.

All the raised beds were so very happy.

I thought the watermelons were going to float away in the runoff.

The swimming pool about overflowed.

The native perennials were so happy.

The drain Murph cleaned out worked perfectly.  I went out and cleaned all the debris off the top in prep for the next storm.

What On Earth Are We Doing Here?

 

Where are we fencing in the season?  Well, we are making a Watermellon Bed over by the Goat Pen.

Mark is finally going to get his dream trellis for growing cucumbers.  Oh, I can hardly wait for you to see it.  It is going to be pretty cool.

Just In A Week This Can Happen

 

The first picked radish!

Finally getting pole beans on!

This little red ball of goodness is peeking out almost ready to pick.

Those silly squirrels are at it again.

And more pole beans!

Watermelon # 14 just hanging around waiting to grow.

And then this happened.  I caught all three dogs IN the melon patch.  When Imogene say me she high-tailed it back under the fence and into the house.  Gladys came when I called her once she knew she was in deep trouble then she played dead.  Ollie was clueless and continued to stand in the middle of the watermelons and bark.

Our cantaloupe has lost its hair and is getting tougher skin.

And then there was this.  I heard Ollie just making a ruckus and couldn't figure out what was wrong.  I found him stuck in the newly planted raised bed.  Somehow he had gotten in the bed but then couldn't get back out.

I did a little reading about pumpkin vines and when you should cut them.  We had some kind of powdery mildew all over the leaves.  So I just hacked them all off.

This was the end result.

Seeds Are Gong In, Phase Two

They have talked and talked about what to put in the newest raised bed.  So here ya go...the seeds have arrived.

Planting the carrot seeds in sand like he saw on...you guessed it...a YoutTube video.

Murph the master seed sewer...on so many different levels.

I made ghetto plant markers with my new laminator!!

All lined up and ready to grow.

No, Murph isn't praying over them...but I bet secretly he does (so do I) they are putting up the dog fence.

Seeds Going In

This is how they look at the end of the day.  Tomorrow I think we have enough seeds to fill the bed.

such sweetness

This is what we think might be an acorn squash that happened into the dirt.  We never had any acorn squash seeds.
