The heat finally hit, although it's still cloudy and humid--definitely El Nino weather this year. And, knowing this heat was coming, we finished up what we could. On May 27, it was barely 56 degrees. Three days later, it hit mid 80s.
But I'm horribly behind on documenting everything. Lets head back to last week, when Titus and Jane had a great party. Kelly was in town and it was her birthday.
Karen was quite festive.
Laura cooks while Bill looks on.
And of course there was music.
And last weekend was Silver Dollar Fair weekend too. Here I am with my quilted table runner.
Eventually we got back to farming, and we harvested these lovely carrots.
This one was huge!
Cindy finished her sign for the Gnome Home.
Buddy got into the act with his tree art hangings.
What is this little creature?
We've been picking peas daily. Catherine experiences the peacefulness of shelling them.
We are getting so many a day! But it won't be much longer. It's already insane that we could have peas this late, but we're not complaining. I even flash froze some for later.
Rick brought over some gravel to make a little french drain for the hose bib. This keeps it much cleaner and nicer.
This is integrated pest management. Although this pea shows signs of some sort of insect hatching out (notice the egg sacs), it also has a baby ladybug (center bottom), ready to eat the newly hatched bugs. The peas in row 8 are absolutely covered in ladybugs.
