The corn is starting to tassel out…
And baby ears of corn starting to form
The pinto beans are shooting feelers (last year’s photo–I lost this years somehow—I’ve been weeding the 16 acres early morning and late evening. Once the rows grow shut anything nasty growing out there—corn, cockleburs, ragweed, Pigweed, yellow sticker weed, scotch thistle….gets to grow. Not a good thing, but how it is.
My yard is doing
Great! The new railroad ties beds are softening up and looking ever so much better
The air smells lush and rich– full of sweetness
Summer — I can’t ask for anything more!
