Holy Moly...it's been hot.
But Audrey doesn't care.
Any outdoor work has to be done early or you melt in the heat and humidity.
But then again it is summer.
It seems that by the time you reach the end of July your gardens need some repair work. I'm finding we are trimming, cutting back and tying up more plants these days as they grow too long, burn out or just look a bit bedraggled. It's daily maintenance that kept me from becoming a gardener years ago. So I'm late at this but at least now we have time to stay on top of things.
The wild-life that visits nightly are becoming more destructive leaving us with two feeders to repair today. I think they may have had a soccer game last night.
We have been eating from our garden for two weeks now and the tomatoes have finally turned red.
So delicious. Mmmm...mmm...mmm.
We are waiting on the peppers to grow a bit more (sweet and chili) and the carrots, parsnips and squash to be ready for pickin'.
If you need zucchini, cukes or beans drop by. I got 'em.
It's been busy in the shade under the sumac trees. That's where I hide out to capture a few of my daily visitors.
Blue-jay
The cats are up early as they heard a rumble in their tummies. Must never have that.
It's going to be another hot day and the grass needs cutting. Again!
A second cup of coffee is in order, first.
"Thank you for your thoughtful comments yesterday. It was a day filled with sweet memories."
Enjoy your day.
hugs, Deb
