I am so tickled! Haven’t been out in the garden for a week. Made it out there tonite to check on things—with the help of the 15 month old gbaby! Potato vines are dying,vidalias are about the size of tennis balls, picked a couple of early jersey cabbage,saw a small zucchini, peppers are popping, flowers are beautiful!
Course, the weeds are growing like...weeds!
Tell me about dear!!!!! If it weren't for weeds, I wouldn't have any green in my "lawn."
Our riding mower is on the fritz and so hubby has been trying to tackle more than an acre with the push mower and weedwhacker. The "weeds" have been winning and he just gave up on the east field which is the "point" of our pie slice property. Yesterday, as we were getting it together to leave to go meet the guy who owns the cabins we're painting I hear what I thought was a lawn mower out the back door (back door is from the attic) and I'm about to have a fit thinking he's decided to cut some grass and so I look out the door.........
Nope it's not hubby, it's one of the other officers from the Lodge on his riding mower come to cut our "grass" because our riding mower isn't working.
This guy and his wife are friends and they live about 2 miles down the road from us. They needed to take their cat to the vet on Monday but didn't have a carrier and we told them to use ours. He returned the carrier on Tuesday and was really down because the cat has cancer and there is nothing to be done for her (she's 15) and he abruptly changed the subject and got talking about cutting grass and I mentioned the problem we were having about cutting grass around here..........
I felt like such a heel knowing we were on our way out the door. His wife was with him and I told her that and her comment was he was hoping we weren't home so he could just do it.
I can't do it tomorrow because of time constraints, but Sunday I will be making this gentleman a Shoo-fly pie. It's his favorite.
Is it normal for zucchini to take a breather in production? Have picked quite a few but the plants seem to be in a lull the last week or so.
