This is a photo from earlier this month of the kitchen garden. We had fairly moderate weather until last week when we hit 90 degrees. Yesterday was a scorcher.
And these are photos from a couple of weeks ago of the barn garden. It’s getting harder to walk around in there now that we are in the thick of the growing season.Sometimes Darcy needs a little quiet time too.

Work has begun on our driveway! Just some teaser photos here – parking the cars on the field and Billy Young has brought in a lot of equipment for the work.
Our cucumber plants are in the front yard. We are building up this flower bed with wood chips that will turn into soil in a couple of years. We decided to fill a trench down the middle with compost and plant our cucumber there. I wasn’t sure it would work, but we have already picked 2 cukes!Smokey and I have been meeting up on the back deck every morning for some loving. I’m allergic so I just stroke him with my one hand and try not to let him rub up against my legs. I largely fail at that. I always wash afterward.Orange and purple coneflowersSmokey has not trained Darcy like Frida has. He usually runs away from her whereas Frida will stand her ground.
