These photos are from early July. We got a good jump start on the butternut and acorn squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, and watermelon, but then the stupid beetles got the better of a lot of the plants, and we have little veg developing
The potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, beets, parsnips, turnips, radishes, chard, lettuce and herbs are doing not too badly
The geese kept escaping and leaving their nasty poos all over the place, but J walked the perimeter of their pond and mended all of the holes in the fence so they are again contained
I'm so pleased with the hollyhocks, I grew them from seed last year and they're well established in the goose garden now
And the poppies, bee balm, and flox
The chicks and ducklings had a certain attrition, not sure why.Soon they'll be big enough to send to the butcher. I do feel a bit badly about the Peking ducks, as they do look sweet and like pets. In the scheme of things, J had to shoot a raccoon and a couple of skunks that were found circling their pens.
And the obligatory photo of little Sadie...
And the house.
