Gardens and Stuff

61°f/16.1°C, clear after heavy rains yesterday evening. Small tornado near Fairmont, some flooding in the coal fields region. Wild weather!

I got a lot of weeding done this morning. After a rain it's easy, and the mulch let's me get in the garden without getting muddy shoes. I picked a nice little haul yesterday, which made a good supper along with grilled chicken.

New potatoes, so delicious.

I thinned the carrots and beets, just enough for dinner. Then picked all of the squash and some chard.

Early peppers! We gave had a few small tomatoes too.

And here comes the zucchini! No yellow squash yet, but one should be ready tomorrow. 

A pair of summer tanagers are hanging around our place.

And lots of Cardinals.

This daylily decided to open all its blooms at once. Some people call them tiger lilies, some xalk them ditch lilies.

Sunday's project: sanding this big boy.

And this one.

Now to paint!
