Sunday Morning Weeding/Weed-Eating

Sunday was a much more productive day around the farm even though we only worked the first half of day. And even though most of the morning was spent weeding, we did take inventory of all the many blooms perking up.

The squash and zucchini have lots of big blooms...

And some baby squash too...

There are tons of blooms on the cucumbers!

Miraculously enough, even my eggplant had a purple bloom. Why is this a shock? Because something has been eating holes into the leaves of my two eggplant plants pretty much since we planted them. The jury is still out whether they will actually produce any fruit.

The long rows of peas are looking so good! And you can see my new baby corn sprouts coming up to the right of the peas.

Hubby did a bunch of weed-eating around the perimeter of the garden plot/area... with all of the rain the grass and weeds have just taken over! And the dirt is just too mushy to drive a lawnmower on.

Don't forget the Supervisor of all weeding and weed-eating!

Found a couple of apples on the new Fuji apple trees...

But, unfortunately, we also found a bunch of japanese beetle on the Fuji apple leaves eating there way around them... (Sorry for the blurry photo... but, you get the picture) Definitely going to have to do something with the beetles before they eat the entire tree!

And finally, we discovered the cucumbers coming in! They grow so fast with all the rainwater.

P.S.
The pumpkins are starting to grow their runners. :) Can you see them?
