First load of hay backing up to the barn. So thankful for that trailer, Dad! |
Old hay, new hay; still need more hay. (All inspected by Oreo the barn cat.) |
And then there were nine (one black hen is in the coop):
Updated garden panorama, taken from the west side this time:
Varieties (updated; for my records) are: Yukon Gold potatoes; bulk snap peas, variety unknown; 'Black Valentine' bush beans; 'Nantes' carrots; 'White Egg' turnips; 'Blue Lake'-type bush beans (forgot to keep seed packet); 'Ace' (3), 'Celebrity,' 'Sungold,' 'Super Fantastic VF,' 'Sweet Million,' and 'Stupice' tomatoes, 'Purple Beauty' bell peppers (2); 'Italian Sweet Large Leaf,' 'Red Rosie' and 'Spicy Globe' basil; 'Chioggia' beets; 'Lacinato' kale; 'Delicata' winter squash; 'Satin Beauty' eggplant; 'Early Prolific Straightneck' summer squash; 'Black Beauty' zucchini; 'Marketmore 98' cucumbers (2 hills); and assorted lettuces. Everything is up and looking good now except the Delicata squash, carrots, and newly planted Black Valentine beans. Now we fight the weeds. ;-)
First dahlia of the year:
New York asters below Brian's window watered and weeded. Bought these on clearance at Lowe's last year to replace the 'Tasmanian Tiger' euphorbia that died out (the sole survivor is visible on the far left):
That's it for today at . . .

My back got tired just reading your list. 😊
First, thanks for the comment about my upcoming trip, and I am requesting prayers... for those left behind, (Keith and Lilly) and for Jester, me, and my friend Deb and Stella Rose (her pug) who are going. We are nervous and we will be praying non-stop. :-)
Your garden is gorgeous. The weather is coming HERE and to Indiana, where we
are headed.
I'm so glad you're getting hay... we had part of the Leavenworth County wheat crop flooded, and there is going to be a straw shortage this year because of it.
I'm exhausted just reading this post. Glad you got a ride in, although I'm not sure how in that busy schedule. I would have been sipping lemonade in front of a fan....
