Pickles in July 2020

Pickles in July 2020

Rose put up more pickles on Saturday. The Claussen style pickle recipe that we found is a winner.  I was in the mood to mow yesterday so I mowed the lawn, then fired up the DR Field & Brush mower and finished a section of the field, more poison Ivy out there than in previous years, we'll do some more targeted spraying of the stuff in the fall.

Victory Garden update
Had to spray the squashes and broccoli the squash borers and other bugs were having a field day.   No tomatoes yet, I think we're several weeks away still.  Jarrod's garden is doing well, he's picked some tomatoes already, they have a bunch of lettuces going too.  We'll see how the Zukes and summers do those borers have curtailed production.  The winter squash are still going crazy and have left the confines of the garden fences.  We did finally get some rains over the past week or so so we're not as worried about the well.

The Deer are finally bringing the fawns by for a visit.
