June 27: Blueberries, grapes, corn, cukes herbs, and potatoes



So excited to find first few blueberries ripe...and grapes are growing bigger each day--just need to turn purple now!

Kayli and her Fawn 2 girls cut the tall stalks of sorrel and lovage so now the herb garden looks so much neater!
 And Connor and the Hawk's Nest boys brought up a dozen or so buckets of old manure to put around the potato plants, after we found a few spuds breaking the surface of the ground and turning green,  so we needed to bury them deeper.

Last weekend I finally got the old strawberry bed dug up and the cucumbers and corn I'd planted in the greenhouse on June 6 planted into the ground, in holes in landscape fabric I laid down.  (I cut the fabric and marked the holes with chalk and cut them on a table, before laying the fabric int he garden.  A much easier way than I've done before!)   Monday's super storm messed it up a bit but I was able to move it back into position.  (Also blew the cover off the greenhouse!)   Lots of rain this week so everything is growing like crazy!

  1. Everything looks wonderful! Guess I'll get that rhubarb to you in the Fall to plant; it'll be yummy in the Spring!
