Farm Update

8.2.10

Amazing what rain does to the garden! First, I was worried the “gulley washers” had washed the pumpkins away, but that is not the case. The combination of rain and heat has been key to on target performance, so far.

There are blossoms galore on the “Orange Bulldog” pumpkin plants, and the zinnias, sunflowers, celosia and broom corn are in full force! All this growth requires cutting, fertilizing and careful inspection. The heat & humidity combo could bring mildew, fungus and other nasties, so it’s critical to observe at least twice a week.

The bees are CRAZY in their hive, drawing comb and making honey!

My Canon EOS 50D and lens were returned from repair last week, so I was able to capture this week’s update…

Blessings from the Garden
