Refrigerators Gone!

Yesterday I had the three old refrigerators picked up and recycled. The guy they sent looked like a refrigerator himself! He manhandled them out of the yard and into his truck. I was very glad to see them go.

This doesn't look like much, but it's the hole where they used to be.

Weather Note:

It's getting hot! We had a pretty nice week, but this weekend it's moving into triple digit temps. It's still getting to be about 60 at night. Next weekend is the fair, so I expect we'll get at least a little rain. We almost always get the last rain before summer during fair week.

Rick C got some straw, and we began to mulch the rows, setting down newspaper at first, then plenty of straw.



Rick C and I survey the results. We will get more straw and mulch more of the garden today.



We found more yardafacts:

What's Blooming:

The star jasmine coming over the neighbor's fence is delightful. We also have day lilies and poppies blooming.



The climbing roses are already about done; although flowers remain, they are old and beat up. We should plan to do flowerbud necklaces between the first and 15th of May next year.

Remember those tomatoes we're watching? They are growing more every day.



And I got a whiteboard and some post-its so we could leave notes for each other, or take a note home to remind us what to bring next time. And I couldn't resist making magnets for each of us.



The cherries are almost finished, but we agree that we've had our fill. I figure we ate 4-5 boxes at least, and boxes sell for almost $6.
