Mostly Gardening Today

 We were SO focused on the house

that we fell a little behind on the garden.

Had to rectify that.

I spent the morning weeding the okra

bed that I TOTALLY let go.

(After 2 hours I went up to the house

to check on Rod and Kyle finished it up.)

Meanwhile, Kyle and Jim re-tilled the

rows for the cucumbers and got 

those all planted.

I think they are trying 5 or 6 new types

this year. Well, that includes the

Marketmores that we grow every year.

But there were some new ones too.

Some slicers and some picklers.

We'll see how they do!

Jim also picked 20 zucchini!

They look really nice!

We should be ready to replant the okra

in the newly weeded bed tomorrow.

The orange okra suddenly took off

and are looking pretty good.

Hopefully they will produce well

and be tasty!

I headed into town to teach,

and Rod and Jim worked in the house

for a little longer.

When I started teaching, I got a text

from Kyle.

He harvested the onions.

Actually this is NOT all of them.

It's just all that his wagon would hold.

He still has 2 more rows to pick!

We will hang some to dry for storage,

clean some to sell,

and freeze some in slices and chunks

for us to use over the winter.

That is a LOT of onions!!!!

Gratuitous fireworks picture.

We drove to a hill outside town

and watched.

There were fireworks across the entire 

town! Just not at the moment I snapped

the picture.

It was fun to watch!

Sabrina stayed home with their dog who

is NOT a fan of fireworks.

Our frenchies didn't care at all.

Ok, just finished teaching and doing all

the paperwork for last week.

I can smell dinner....

I'm OUT!
