Showing My Bloomers

Sewing My Wild Oats...

uh, my pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers, corn and beans.  I am hot, sunburned and wearing a wife beater T.  I am not complaining.  I never thought I would say this but I've missed sweating.  Unlike other southern ladies I do not perspire delicately.  I sweat like a horse.  I am so happy for the warmth!

Sometimes hooking up equipment is a two person job.  Remember the purple and pink toolbox?  Still working!

I began planting sunflowers here and there from our crop last year. Just scooping a small hole where ever I wanted a sunflower.  The almanac said Tuesday was a good day for above ground crops so I am testing that.  May be a little early but I think by the time they sprout all danger of frost will be gone..hopefully.

Hubby decided to go big and plow a little patch for the wildlife along the creek.  He did that and I got to plant.

The far side of the creek is now planted.  May it feed who needs it most.  I also wandered through the edge of the woods planting gourds so they could climb brush and trees.  I planted pumpkins in the sand and in ashy ground where a brush pile had been burned experimenting what they may prefer.  Planted them far from gourds so they will not cross pollinate.

And the pack was with us every step of the way.

I had no idea how much I was craving playing in the dirt.

Garden Update...

Super hot and dry,

we water from the creek.

Sunflowers,

gourds,

peas,

cucumbers,

and watermelons.

All still alive but not so pretty,

they'll still be good to eat.

If You're Wondering...

Marcy still has flowers.  With no AC (repaired Friday) Marcy has been staying in more.  These are some of her amazing shots during the cool of morning light.

Marcy has a green thumb and a good eye.
