Garden Clean-Up

Saturday was another productive day on Wilsons Farms complete with lots of sunshine! After all the rain we have had in the past week or so, the plants were soaking in the sunshine like no tomorrow. Hubby kept telling me that the plants were growing before our eyes... and how they were bigger in the afternoon from when we first got in the garden that morning.

As you can see there are little squash coming in...



The cilantro is double in height now!



Most of our day was spent working in the garden. Hubby and I both spent a lot of time off and on hand weeding and hoeing the long rows. Again, with all of the rain we had, it is no surprise the amount of weeds we have too!







We also strategically dusted those plants still showing evidence of worms or bugs. We re-applied the deer/varmint prevention liquid to the plotsaver perimeter fence. And we set up our strings for the cucumber plants to "run" up!





Next up was thinning out the corn stalks... we planted 3-5 seeds in each hole back during the planting weekend in early May. They all seem to have made it to corn stalks! So we cut out the smaller ones to make more rooms for the best 1-2...





"BJ" came over to pitch in and he bush-hogged the overgrown lower bottom plot for us... this is where our honey bees are located. The white clover was pretty much dried-up so it was time to cut it.



Later in the day, "BJ" and Hubby did some scraping/leveling of one section of our driveway... This section was pretty eroded from all of the vehicles going over it in the past year.



We also planted more sweet corn... picked up a dollars worth at the local feed store. This will come in a month after our current planting.





All in all, the garden is looking fabulous!
