Good Morning! :-)
Weekly Round Up from ‘Abandon All Hope’ Farm:
This morning Beau took our three best ‘swimmers’ to a Water Race. They hold them in the spring to start getting the dogs in shape for hunting season - raccoon and black bear. Shasta, Fremont, Paiute and Bella Coola made the cut. All are Plott Hounds. Of course, it’s RAINING, but it’s still going to be in the 70’s, so tolerable.
Tomatoes are in, and I’ve been adding flowers here and there. Started some Dill yesterday as I want to can Dilly Beans later this season. We have been cool and wet, and I KNOW it’s the first of June, but my beans aren’t in, yet. Peppers, either. But, it’s just a few hours’ work to get that done, so we’ll be fine. :)
Puppies are growing fast and are starting to explore their little world - with Mama Taylor at their side most of the time. We give her a break from them every day. They are confined to the Puppy Pen, so they can’t get out and no other dogs can get in. Looks like the Baby Daddy owner may be taking one or two, so that’ll be less work for me this summer. Yay! :)
We have been enjoying really good salad greens from the garden, but not much else, yet. The floodgates will open come July. ;)
Peonies have been spectacular this season - gonna brave the rain and cut a big bouquet for the Kitchen this morning. ‘Festiva Maxima’ and ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ (White and Shell Pink in color).
Not much else to report - other than Beau bought me some gravel screenings so I can do some fixing up in the pathways around my greenhouse that have become trip hazards. Gravel settles; you add more. :)
