This past week was mostly dry here in Central Missouri. We got a few sprinkles over the weekend but not enough to curtail outdoor activities.
I spent the entire weekend working on Nephew’s Sprinter van. There are still a few convenience items that need attention but the important stuff (solar power) is done. I expect he’s on his way now to pick up his first load.
While I was working on the van Nephew took care of the weed whacking for me and Mrs. Augie mowed the grass. Her cucumber patch is starting to produce so it won’t be long til we’re swimming in fermented pickles. The tomato plants are coming along. I might get to have a BLT before August gets here. I gave the sweet corn patch a shot of urea on Saturday. The plants are about knee high now so should be ready to harvest well before the first frost.
With the van project complete it’s time for me to turn my attention to building fence. Last week I started spraying heinous chemicals on the multiflora rose/blackberries/poison ivy/etc. that are growing where I need to work. I noticed yesterday that the poison is doing its job so it won’t be long before I can hack that stuff down and get to work on the fence.
Ugh! Fencing! I’m always assigned to Clean-Up Crew, which isn’t too bad, bur Beau always has the FUN part of the job running the skid steer and digging holes. ;)
Glad you’re getting some dry weather. We’re stuck in Hazy, Hot & Humid this week. We are starting to SWIM in Zucchini - which I do not mind at all; I will share recipes later today.
When you say that you “gave the sweet corn a shot of urea,” does that mean you tinkled on them?
