This heat has got to give! Pumpkins, Mud dauber, Fire, and English tip.
Between the deer eating the leaves and the heat cooking the vines, this pumpkin said “I give up”. It weighted in at 28.8 pounds. Look at the different types of Mud dauber nests. “Mud dauber” is a name applied to a number of wasp species that build their nests from mud. Wasp that use mud…

Goats should receive an injection once a year, however new born kids receive this injection at 3 months old and again three weeks later. Today, the kids received their second injection and none of them were very happy about it. The first picture below is of Peanut on the left and April on the right.…

Flying, driving, crawling, swimming, and populating the gardens.

We will most probably convert the first two rows to string beans if more corn sprouts before our bean seeds arrive. Our…

The three bluebirds still…
