Today ended up much chillier than I anticipated, and with the drizzle, I wasn’t feeling too motivated to garden.
I took pictures instead (and attended a hands-on a bee class – post to come later)
My MIL worked tirelessly last weekend and this Saturday helping me clean up around the yard. Last weekend was the vegetable garden.
Tomatoes
Onions, Carrots, Lettuce, Melons, Squash, Peppers
Newly planted pepper bed
First Squash – pass-along from Ms. Black, my daughter’s FFA teacher
First Tomato
Beans and corn planted yesterday
Yesterday was the back yard, weeding, raking, and general cleanup.
Finally got my garden gates back from the powder coater, just in time for my climbing rose to take off.
Grape Hyacinth
California Poppy – I miss these from Phoenix, and finally have my own
Next I took a tour outside the fence, trying to capture wildflowers
Our lambs grazing in the background
My garden helpers — These guys follow me around everywhere. The guineas are usually in 3s, but today she was off wandering.
Carl
Guinea Hen
Checking on some of the poultry …
Our 3 peafowl, we don’t know the sex yet, no full tails until 2 years of age
Gobbling with me … a favorite pasttime
Waiting for scratch?
And on to the orchard
First peach!
