Sunday Farm Update

Late Night?

Today began with a drive to the Farm by our 15yo new driver. Safe and sound.


Some of us were a bit fatigued upon arrival mainly due to staying up til 3am with friends. So, we finally mustered up the energy to hill the pumpkin patch in preparation for seed planting today...


Guess what? 


Someone forgot the seeds! Well, we didn't drive my Yukon Storage Container to the farm, so it didn't happen.

Blisters.Even Gizmo!

Meanwhile, Sam, Marianna & myself completed the hills despite the fact we had no seeds. Here are our blisters to prove it- even Baby Gizmo(Sam calling him Giz-mutt) was in on the goodness.

We were tricked again with about 3 minutes of hard rain thus sprinklers running most of the evening. 


Robert must be having a contest with someone else growing corn. He has fertilized, watered-  really babied this crop. Says he wants to have a corn party...


Any thoughts?


The flowers have  progressed tremendously this week. There is so much pink, salmon, white, burgundy this year! Planned those colors for upcoming weddings. The broomcorn is about 3 feet high, last year it bolted up to about 10 feet. Lovely in fall arrangements. 


The return home was a white knuckler for me...Our 15 yo drove the truck back and onto Bobby Jones Expressway in the dark. Safely home, I am so proud.
