Finished mowing today - the whole farm is DONE! My brother came home from a trip & had to drive across one of the fields to park his trailer - he commented to his wife that “wow, this looks great!” and also that I must have been on the mower all day (nah, just 11-4 today, 2 hours yesterday). He jumped on his mower right away - got to keep up with the next door neighbor (me!).
Next 4 days all have rain in the forecast - garden needs it. I watered a few things this evening, but will let the rain do the rest. At least I don’t have to worry about knee deep wet grass that doesn’t want to dry out so I can mow.
New: my “Love in a Puff” (Balloon Vine) seeds are sprouting! A friend gave me a little trellis (about 3 ft tall) & i needed a vining plant. Another friend gave me the Love in a Puff seeds - they are a couple of years old, so I’m glad they are sprouting. My plants are in an old stock tank turned planter, so they won’t be spreading to places where they shouldn’t be.

Love in a Puff is SO pretty! Glad the old seeds still had some life in them!
I am having the hardest time with Musk Melon this season! I’ve gotten ONE (of 6) to germinate. Grrrr! I hate having to buy stuff, but I’m going to have to, I guess. ;)
