A Weekend at the Farm 06/18-19/10

This is a single bloom of Strawberry Seduction Yarrow.

I gathered lots of tomatoes, eggplants, the last of the parsnips, and the last of the carrots.

Planted some more okra. It's the only thing that will grow in the heat that I'm aware of.

Weeded and weeded and weeded.

Watered the fruit trees and the shrubs by the Greenhouse. It'll be a challenge getting them through the summer.

Fertilized the roses in the Rose Garden with fish emulsion.

Fertilized everything in the Long Border with a slow release organic made from chicken manure. Yummy.

Sprayed herbicide in various places.

I had an appointment with a landscaper to get an estimate for some work I want done down the slope behind the house. He didn't show up. Irritating.

Took a walk in the morning.

Watched butterflies.

Swam in the pool. The water is already hot.
