July can be a hot, humid month. Everything is going to seed and the weeds are in full competition with the vegetables. If there was ever a year I should have taken off from gardening this should have been it. We have had to do a lot of traveling and it seems like we haven’t been home on the weekends. As a result it’s hard to stay on top of the weeds and we have several projects to complete before fall arrives.
I have lettuce that I’m letting go to seed in order to collect the seeds.
The strawberry season has come to and end but the blueberries are just beginning to turn blue! I love our blueberry bushes!
Spent the weekend weeding our small corn patch. Nice to see the weeds gone, now to get it mulched!
Just beginning to see a few peppers, almost ready to pick!
First zucchini flower!
My favorite chicken, Mrs. Blondie, she is always the first to come say hello, curious if you have any treats for her!
Major project to complete before the fall, power wash the garage end of the house and stain it! The forty fort step ladder is a little daunting!
Our natural hummingbird feeder, they love Bee Balm!
Hope your July is going well, we’ve had a good amount of rain so our little stream is full, it’s the perfect place to keep cool on a hot day.
