Our summer garden was a success, surprisingly! I thought the crabgrass and lambsquarters that took invaded our veggies was surely going to reduce our yields, but we have harvested ample amounts of onions, broccoli, collards, tomatoes, beets, and basil so far. I weeded around the peppers yesterday hoping more of the fruits will have time to develop. Right now it looks like we'll definitely have two peppers to harvest, more would be great!
Time to start constructing and seeding the fall plants. Have a great holiday weekend everyone!
Cynthia and I at the car races. Nothing like Friday fun with 1,000 of your favorite rednecks.
Cylde loves to play in the backyard. He's such a good puppy.
Ryan's new toy. It's nearly street legal so lookout.
We constructed one half of the hoop house today. It's raining now so we'll have to build the rest tomorrow.
The flock enjoying the backyard.
Sometimes Clyde chases the birds. Ito never does (yeah right!).
The veggie garden. Lots of collards, broccoli, and cabbage. The bare spot will be where the hoop house lives this fall/winter.
Some of the broccoli heads. We already harvested at least 10 lbs of broccoli.
Eggs! There were five in the nests at this point, but we usually get between 6 and 9 per day + one duck egg.
One of the last fully opened sunflowers in our yard. They are so gorgeous!
