It was nice, sunny and cool today!
The raspberries are on their second batch of production. They are still getting established, so not a ton of berries, but still yum!
Here is the morning picking.
Fall crops have sprouted - the 90F+ temps sure do help seeds sprout! The first planting of green beans about 1 month go are flowering nicely, so green beans should be showing up soon.
We had some nice rain over the past couple days, not too much, could have used a bit more even, but really good for the lawn and garden.
behind us, a new grass waterway was installed. it was very interesting to see the progression from where the underground main drain line was put in, ground allowed to settle for several weeks, then the grading and smoothing for the final grass seed application. Since there generally isn't a ton of elevation around here, I'm hoping this will really help the water go where it is supposed to go and quickly at that! This doesn't even look like much change in elevation, but it is bigger than it looks. The straw blanket in the pic is 35' wide, and it doesn't look that wide in person. Now we have some grading improvements to do at the side front of our yard, as there are some high/low spots to smooth out thanks to the drain line that was newly installed under the road and the county contractors weren't very careful with their process
The next week looks fairly rain-free and no temps above upper 70's and lows in the upper 50's, so about near perfect.
Tomorrow I'll be picking up 18 little meaties - aka Cornish Cross chicks. Let the fall growing begin!
Especially with y'all canning.
