Weather:

It has been hot for the last week.  Saturday and Sunday the temperature reached the low 90’s.  Cooler today, with showers tomorrow and Wednesday. I don’t see it getting that warm again within the next couple of weeks at least not in any of the 15 day forecast I have looked at.

Plantings:

I planted a couple more Butterstick zucchini and Zucchini.  Other than that I haven’t planted anything.  I have ordered some perennials for the beds by the barn.

DELPHINIUM Giant Pacific Roundtable Mixed

ASTER laevis Bluebird

RUDBECKIA fulgida sullivantii Goldsturm

They hopefully shipped today and I can get them planted before the weather warms up again.

The potatoes are growing pretty well.  I have added one tire on 5 of the seven plants.  I need to put more dirt on the other two plants. 

Activities:

I weeded the vegetable garden.  Also cleaned the back deck, and lawn furniture.  Cleaned the greenhouse out, still have some plants to get into the ground mostly the sunflowers.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

 The wild roses are blooming.  Things are green and it is really pretty.  I will get some pictures posted shortly.
