Outdoor Wendsday

By 1 p.m. the egg shells ground and the sweet potato trimmed and set to root I decided to step out doors to get some air. It has been almost a week and Wow can a garden change in a weeks time.

The sky is so beautiful, we have had a week of rain with more storms foretasted tonight and tomorrow.

Among the land of the living.

 

 Last nights rain storm filled the water tank to the top.

Using a bucket I used care and watered the sad tomato plants.

Then sitting on the raised beds wall trimmed the chard and shared it with the dogs and the hens.

The hens had a real pay day. Sweet birds have been on "moms sick" rations.

Feed and water that's it, mom gets missed.

 

 Swiss chard to dogs...yep.

They flip over it.

Have you ever witnessed such a thing

 

 Man it might as well have been a steak.

It coming from my hand helps.

Then my golden sat at the gate and barked for more and more.

 

This is the harvest.

The zucchini was a surprise. It was wedged so tightly between the plant and the trellis that it was pushing back into the plant

I grew a bell pepper first time.

Weakness prevailed and so I came in.

Oh, so nice to be up though
