So the last few weeks are really starting to show the benefits of all the work we have been doing. The pumpkins are growing nice and starting to vine out. There is a fair amount of blooms all ready, and our fields haven't been this clean in ages.
Autumn had a mountain bike race last night, after a few weeks off the bike we weren't sure how she would do, but she got a first place which puts her in the lead for first place in the series, and with one race to go it looks like she could win the series.When we got home last night Melody and I were rushing to get everything done, field worked and the grass cut, since the forecast looked like a weekend of thunderstorms. We have been unable to cut our back part of the yard though due to 4 baby Kildeers running around it right now. So with one tractor out of gas in the field and the lawmmower ran dry we called it a night.
I got our new corn stand finished tonight and am very pleased with how it turned out, i am sure in time i will find things we need to add to it, ( just as i type that i remembered i need a holder for a roll of produce bags) but i am very pleased with how it turned out and think it will work much better then the larger trailer we normally would use at the beginning of the season.
Our apple tree ( that we have had for about 8 years, and moved it with us 5 years ago, has it usual 2 apples, but i know someday we will have enough to bake a pie..... SOMEDAY!!
So with a little over a week till August, it looks like our late re-seeding is going to catch up and heres keeping my fingers crossed for more great weather.George
