Gorgeous day in Clay New York

 A splendid day for being outside. Spent most of the day weeding the garden. After the nice rain we had evert plant had its thirst taken care of by mother nature. Better than the water I can give it. Marigolds planted around the flag pole to give the front yard some color. We need color as we have six months of a cold white landscape here north of the thruway.The pictures you will see show how quickly the garden is growing. Will be picking summer squash next week. Thats early for me. garden doing well except for the resident rodents who kill a few plants now and then. Have the holes blocked off but some do climb the fence. Might just have to go electric next year. I do need to run a power and water line out there anyway.

  The firewood logs have finally been cut and split. Lots of great wood to burn this year. Just have to take a few hours and stack it on the pallets. Will be looking for some more logs this fall. Cutting them will be a winter's job.

View of the garden from the road showing beans.

Onions three types of sweet ones.

Tomatoes a variety for me and Jenny also has many types of heirloom. Sara has some plant doing well with the seeds direct from Italy. She brought them home from her last trip.

The final split of the wood. Just need to stack it up now.

Corn 1st and 2nd plantings. Cucumbers to the right growing on crop netting.

 More of the tomatoes. Almost a 100 feet of them with spacing for ease of picking.
