Weather

Finally for the 4th of July we dried out little in our Garden! This was so exciting for us because it meant our trench was dry and didn’t need to be bailed. This also meant we actually had to water out plants which has been a chore we have been able to skip most of the summer. Unfortunately our dry spell did not last long and the following week rained us out a few times. Being rained out was not all bad because we have a lot of preparations to make for our family camp coming up this month!

While the weather was dry we took advantage of it though. With our dry weather we also had six little helpers in the garden. We weeded, tilled, and planted all of the plots that were still unplanted. This was so exciting for us because it has been a bit of a downer to come to the garden and not have it all planted until JULY! But it's done now.

This was probably our biggest round of planting and thankfully our last. Our two largest left over plots were planted with multi-color corn and sweet corn. Since these plots were so big and slightly over grown with weeds in preparation for planting we tilled it twice.

In another bed we planted scallions, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, and possibly a few other veggie we thought would withstand the late season.

We also added more bean sprouts to our Indian tee-pee, planted a pumpkin patch, and built a trellis for our watermelon and cantaloupe to grow vertically.
