Hello: We were fortunate enuff to aquire some organic mushroom compost to finish hilling the potatos today. They will be ready, looks like, in a month.
Squash is coming up soon and turnips.
Busy weeding and killing squash bugs, they are nasty little things. Usually, we loose about 60 percent of the squash/pumpkin crop per year. but they seem better this year. I think it’s because of the potato volunteers in between plants.
We got 3/4″ of rain last week. This is good.
I CAN’T BELIEVE we still have spinach. This is late for spinach and we are very fortunate because bummper crops of it always fail.
Anyone who wants to pick a few mulberries off the trees are welcome to. Maybe, come find me and I’ll show you where they are if you don’t already know. I noticed the squirrels, birds and chickimonkies were ravaging them today.
