| Too hot for chores! |
Can you blame me if weeding has fallen off of my priority list? The tomato plants are keeping us well stocked, though the canning crop is yet to come. My late planted corn is doing well. I expect a great crop of corn ear worms for the chickens, and the pigs and cows have been fighting over the green leaf corn plants that I have been thinning out. These must be a great snack since the pigs leave not a morsel when they get an armful of corn stalks. I've harvested a marginal crop of onions due to the chicken destruction they endured early on, but I'm overflowing with garlic with plenty to use and replant in October. The biggest disappointment so far has been my green beans. The first planting yielded well until the hot weather put a stop to blossom production, and my first try at succession planting shriveled in the sun. Now should be the time to start my fall plantings, but maybe a week or two will give us a break in the weather...
