Here, the first picture is the 'orchard' about noon; the second, a little after 1700 (5PM).
This is in the pasture, by the old Stewart pecan tree.
And the garden. I took a lot of pictures, but I think this one is sufficient.
One of our *hills* isn't as tall as it could be. There are tomato plants out there in the water in the middle of the two rows you can see. Fortunately there are six of that particular tomato, so if they don't survive we'll have others that hopefully will. Trying three new types this year. Rutgers, an heirloom; Sun Gold, a cherry tomato; and Sun Sugar, another cherry tomato. The two cherry tomatoes are related. From all I've read, some people like one, some the other, so hopefully they will survive and I'll get to find out which one I prefer.
There are also some blue lake pole beans in that picture, in addition to the marigolds and some purple thyme.
And yes, that is a good sized puddle out between the garden and the fence line. That spot has always been low. We are going to work on filling it in, but it will be days before I even think about going over there with a riding mower. Almost got stuck last time!
Most of the garden is not planted. Yet. Time will tell if it is.
We are supposed to have random days of sunshine and more rain. We'll see how it goes.
Hope you all have a blessed week! ♥
You will love the Rutgers, that is one of the toms that I grow every year for the tomato give-away. They have extra small seed cavities so are great for salads and dicing so you don't get that sloppy seedy mess. They had been developed for the Campbell’s soup company. The Sun Sugar have thin skins so are a favorite of our "Little Terrorists", they eat them like they are picking raspberries.
ReplyDeleteI don''t like rains like that...gentle soaking rains yes, not the sit in a puddle and wait to dry out rains.
