I made a trip to Jeff City today, so that’s about all I got done. Meanwhile back at our little acre, hubby said we got 4 inches.
We finally got some black berries before the critters and birds. Maybe a quart, so I’ll be making some cobbler or jelly.
We had too many summer squash, so gave some to the neighbor. She tried to grow some last year, and didn’t get any. We have some cukes and beets. None are enough for a batch. More like a quart or two.
Hubby finally got a tomato that had turned kinda orange, so I told him better to pick it and bring it in before the critters get it. It’ll ripen indoors just fine.
His sweet corn is almost ready, just needs to fill out a bit more. I went ahead and cooked the ones he brought in and the flavor is great.
One of my corn patches is ready, and another has about a month to go. I didn’t bet much, because the seeds just wouldn’t germinate. Bad Seed I think.
Picked some cukes and eggplant yesterday evening.
Sweet corn is close, but not quite.
The japanese beetles have infested my pole beans. I’d been able to squish em fast enough to keep the damage to a minimum, but they took advantage of my being gone for three days and moved in for the kill. I really don’t like spraying while things are in bloom, but this time I didn’t have much choice so I gave them a nice bath in Sevin dust. They really like to munch on my contorted filbert tree, and up until this past weekend had pretty much stuck to that and left the garden alone. I guess I should have sprayed them before they moved. I’ll know better next time.
