Sunflowers and Corn

Just a month ago, these were the little guys.

Now we have a brisk walk past Cosmos, Crepe Myrtle and Okra that takes us to Sunflowers.

As we pass by the different Sunflowers just can't help but seeing all the tall corn in the background.

From 2009 07 River

Over 5 dozen ears so far-- and the racoons must be feasting elsewhere

No drought this year

The grass is so green-- and keeps growing, now into August. Have to keep the blade set high to minimize clumping

Enjoy summertime

Late afternoon... at the end of a liesurely kayak ride down the river.

Do you see the house?

Do you see the garden cottage?

(Tougher...)

Do you see the red tractor?

Do you see the tracker?

Do beavers live at water's edge at the far right of the picture?

Tour the garden

Ride with us and take a spin around the garden.(click the picture to see the movie)

You'll see everything is well-watered, thanks to the heavy rains (see the flood, next post, below)

It's hard to see the squash hiding under those big leaves, but they're there.
Later we hope to have watermelons!

Fourth of July

After several downbursts, the river rose.

Turn up the volume and hear the sound of the water rushing downstream. Listen carefull at 00:25 and 00:32 to hear a bird tweeting.

As you'll see, the water spilled over the river bank onto the lawn.

Get ready for Spring!

The weather cooperated so we tilled and planted... and planted.
Stay tuned and we'll watch for:
peas,
cabbage,
lettuce,
brussels sprouts,
onions,
strawberries,
bok choi,
broccolli, potatoes
