Well we have been promised rain but it is beginning to look pretty iffy.....Accu weather says rain in 78 minutes.....we shall see.
Max and I went out early this morning around 7:30 to begin our chores....his was the cows and mine was gardening.
I wanted to re-till the strawberries and the east end of the garden before the rains came. Grass was beginning to grow. I decided to water the strawberries so I let the sprinkler run while tilling. They needed it badly; I didn't water them in when I planted them a few days ago because of promised rain.....
Tilled garden with very dark red lettuces. (Note Martin house in upper right hand)
and, at long last and a month too late, the Martin House in an upright position.
It took a long time to get the cow man's attention but he did it! So I am not complaining. I will never take it down again.
I have been working on cleaning the border along the edge of the New Bed and Light Pole bed. I am happy to report it is done.
This was this morning's work:
and I did this a couple of days ago,
I was happy to see some remaining peaches and pears after our freezes and winds.
My first iris is in bloom; from a neighbor so I call it Lisenby's iris,
Still blooming: Kerria, lilacs, one lonely self-seeded money plant (lunaria), the ugly iris, two clematis, an odd daff or two.
I will risk planting sweet corn very soon (as the oak leaves are the size of mouse ears).
