Summer is here with her hot days and sun shinning brightly.  The animals are quieter as they find a spot of shade to rest in ...or take a quiet graze...

    The skeeters are out in the evenings when it's cool enough to enter the garden...picked a half a bucket of okra yesterday on the first picking...of course there were a couple of pieces I should have picked the day before...it will be a regular part of the routine now...think I got about 30 skeeter bites...yikes!

    I think maybe...I'll get the first picking off the peas on Saturday...It'll be of a mixed variety...but it will still be good.... I think I replanted about 3 times to get a good enough stand up in the rainy spring weather...now the plants are just wishing for a shower...Summer is Here...HOT .... AND ... DRY....

    Still digging the potatoes...will try and get the rest up this week...They sure are delicious...very good flavor...very fresh...

    The three little piggies...Tocina, Porky, and Petunia...wait for their daily spray of water to cool off....and a good root in their mud hole...

    And the pool calls me often...even though the water is now warming up ...to.... too warm...I had to backwash yesterday...and was glad to add some good old cool well water to try and cool it down a bit....

     Summer is here....

Just wanted to say Hello and tell you that I've enjoyed reading your blog.
Them Skeeters are a troublesome lot aren't they! :(
We got our first picking of peas yesterday but it's going to be a while before we get a mess of okra. At this moment our okra is mostly too small.

It's nice to see another gardener in the BN community. I'm a gardener too. There's nothing like the sweet reward of growing your own foods.

Wishing you a great rest of the week & weekend!
