Well,
With the temperatures down here spiking up near the upper 90's, it was time to get both the air conditioners up and running. And that they are! Tomorrow is predicted to reach 103 degrees..ICK!!
And now that the nighttime temperatures are cooling off my brain, I feel I can write something actually worth reading.
Everything in the garden is loving the new hot weather. The lettuce is bolting, the basil is inching it's way towards summertime pesto production, and the corn and beans are starting to rear their heads! Everything is coming together quite nicely! The apple trees have little baby apples, and the strawberries that were a wedding present are in full blooming mode! The picture above, well one of them, is of the pole bean trellis that Rhubarb salvaged out of the brickyard on our property. And, well, the other picture, is of moi, venturing off the farm on some endeavor.
I'm afraid the past week on Goonie Rhubarb Farm has been a week of limbo. Toiling with, and installing new air conditioners has been a feat that neither one of us anticipated. And as far as in the garden and other such things are concerned...it is a slow chug towards results. But, this new weather, and the impending arrival of chickens, will bring many new stories to tell!!
That's all for now...
