What gorgeously beautiful days we've been experiencing! We seem to be close to that awaited "honey run" with our honey bees. I had to add a super to the hive this morning so now we're working on honey for the human family. That is to say, the bees are. Up to this time, they've been working in the main hive creating the bee family and storing up reserves. We have never had such flowers (daisies, buttercups and some sort of orange flower I need to look up) in the field and so many blossoms on our berries! Thanks God. And bees.As far as the mowin. Well, that was a short shift today. The dear machine needs some work. It just wouldn't cooperate and stay running today. So, Mom moved on to other projects.The hay got raked some more instead and the tulip bed the deer munched (before we got the fence fixed) got half weeded. Our 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter diligently raked hay and then finished mulching the main strawberry bed. Yay! Such accomplishments!
The yellow, yellow-white and purply-brown irises are opened. There are more to come.
There were several trays of pepper and tomato plants languishing in the greenhouse, so after Hubby tilled up a bed around the onion mounds, I transplanted a whole bunch in there. Still more to go. One of the tomato plants left in the greenhouse has 2 tomatoes on it! I think it's a Beefsteak plant.
Hubby is awaiting tomorrow with bated breath as he just may get the first ripe tomato from here in the yard for Father's Day! That'd be a perfect gift!
