I’m torn between being in the garden and getting out on the water…you believe that story?
Truth is I ain’t torn at all…just need an excuse…
so here it is…another weather report for ya.
And these two red kayaks look awfully forlorn just sitting there…they’re like fish out of water…so off we go…as you’re reading this.
Not much been happenin’ in the garden actually…just waiting for all things edible to grow…
Mr. Denim and I did spend considerable time yesterday {in between my weeding} planning out a new garden gate entry.
Simple puhlease…as in rustic…and nothing ornate. Ever.
Hopefully we’ll get to that pretty darn quick.
My hop vines need more places to meander and loop. Seems they grow 6″ a day.
I harvested my two green cabbages…yeehaw!!! I see corned beef and cabbage on the menu this week.
Funny how the regular green cabbage did fine but the Napa Cabbage bolted and I have nothing to show for it. Go figure. Gardening is always a mystery.
Oh…the girls got to eat the leaves and flowers. I guess they made out OK. Better than I did.
Now the bed looks bare waiting for the pole beans and zucchini and crookneck to grow.
And something I learned the hard way yesterday while winding twine around the teepees…either build the teepees fully accessible so you can walk around and string…or else have a helper.
It’s just like stringing lights on a Christmas tree.
It was #@*!#&% doing it solo!! Translation: frustrating.
And don’t look too close. Argh.
The last window opening was cut in the future greenhouse…FINALLY! It’s just a hole in the wall right now. Literally.
PS…pretend you don’t see all the window muntins gone…they were all there once upon a time!
Another lesson learned as far as adhesive. They’ll be back up soon. Of course…that’s Mr. Denim’s lesson learned…hehe.
I planted hop and Virginia Creeper vines along the west fence panel for shade from hot afternoon sun. Looks kinda messy right now.
I was hoping that my Napa Cabbage and broccoli planted in the same beds wouldn’t bolt…but they did.
Guess it’s the temperature and not the shade. Lesson learned.
I put in the tomato cages…
and luckily for me they still had bird reflective tape on them from last year.
OK…over and out for now…the temps are rising…gotta get out on the water and cool myself off.
Good grief…I’ve learned enuf this past week! I deserve some R & R!
And so do y’all…get your toes in some sand and water…and R.E.L.A.X. for the Fourth of July!
PS…Can you believe it’s July already?!?
