What have you done today in the Garden?

Thats what I said when I wrote the check!

 

Yikes!! Is that you on the ground or you up in the air?

 

Lots of watering and some feeding of plants and harvesting.

 

Silly Rabbit .. I am behind the camera! I am not going up in a bucket that tall. Like Eveveever! For $2600 I was not touching anything!

 

Well, I have been accused of "rabbitting on" on occasion. How did you know Dirt?

We are up in Western NY State at the family farm. I helped my brother plant some daylilies around the deck, the we took a walk through the woods looking for harvestable cherry trees. There were some beauties

 

Wow Cayu!! I would like to see some piccies of those cherries and the wooded area there.

No garden work today--it was called on account of rain, soooo....we bottled up honey and popped out to feed the park deer.

 

Well here goes @Sjoerd

I don't have a photo of the large cherry trees....too far into the woods but here are some photos of the"farm".
And, finally a photo of one of the young

 

Thanks a mil for the foto's. It looks really interesting. I can see that you have some trees marked for removal. The wildflower meadow looks so charming. It looks ideal. Your farm house looks so comfortable and inviting. I can well imagine that you guys long to visit it frequently. It seems isolated and restful.

 

It is all that SJ

 

Carted 5 more contractor buckets of compost to the community garden and spread them on the tires. Trying to build up that soil!

Watered the leaks, remaining tomatoes & the Swiss chard.

Planted a cover crop of peas to turn under.

 

picked bushels of greenbeans yesterday and the day before. I canned 2 bushels of them today, that made another 28 quarts for the next year for a total 49 quarts and 12 pints.
Done with beans tomorrow is grape juice or raspberry jam. both need done.

 

s, just my lowly opinion here but get a new queen or whole box to add the queenless hive to. don't wait on a queencell to develop. I tried that early in the year and the queencell that was in my split failed because the weather was too wet for a mating flight and I ended up rejoining the split back into one hive again. its too late for a mating flight at this point for a new queen I think.

 

Picked one bushel of grapes and made grape juice tonight. picked raspberries, an apple , zucchini...

 

Grape Juice? Did you accidentally spill any yeast into it?
