Who turned up the heat?

 Who turned up the heat?

 

Wow is it HOT!  91 on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are supposed to be 92, we watered the garden good for the third day in a row.  Everything looked pretty good.  Swiss chard is ready to pick already.
I hilled up the potatoes, I'll mulch them later this week. Tomatoes have buds as does one of the Acorn squash.  This heat is hurrying everything along, we'll have to fertilize this week.

Those tiny things in front of the chard under the white strings in the pic above are carrots.

We have a bunch of these weeds, lamb’s quarters named because they were said to taste as good as a lamb’s quarter. They are over Roses new wild flower patch, they are supposed to be great eating, that said there are folks that eat Dandelion, and Fiddle-heads that we also have in abundance but have never eaten them either...

We picked up some fireworks for the 4th of July.  Yes I can wait...

The blueberry bushes are loaded, unfortunately the birds are also very interested, I ordered some bird netting but of course it's late... hopefully the netting arrives before the birds get them all.

Rose has already seen the Catbirds picking ripe berries off the plants.

Rose filled up the pool for the dogs, they had a blast.  The only unfortunate part is they like to go lay in the dirt after a dip in the pool so they need to be hosed off before they can go in the house.

 Hannah and Zeb we're having a blast in the pool

Hannah, just lounging in my pool....

Rose heard a chipmunk complaining loudly down by the barn Sunday night and then heard a familiar screech.

Turns out it was 3 Barred owls up in the old Elm tree.  We have been thinking that the chipmunk population seems to be going down around here.  It was too dark to get good clear shots of all three.  I do hope they stick around.

Stay cool out there.
