How we spend 4th of July!

Yesterday was a beautiful day and as I sit upstairs by the window in my sewing area, I can see the progress we made in Garden B.  Weeded, planted and picked.  New plantings of lettuce, radishes, more swiss chard.  Tomatoes are just about ready to ripen.  Had a few just yesterday.  Peppers are ripening, swiss chard is (as usual) growing faster than I can pick it.  Green beans, melons, pumpkins and potatoes blossoming.  Getting ready to plant seeds for cabbage and broccoli fall crops.  Will also put in a fall crop of spinach and some later green beans--a lot cooler canning green beans in the fall.  A really good rain came yesterday when we were all done (or exhausted from the heat)---perfect timing since Mike was going to have to water if we didn't get some rain soon!  It was a good 4th of July!  Taking care of my daughter's mama and baby Chihuahua while she is in Wisconsin fishing.  Cute as they can be.  The cats are not really thrilled, but they have been on their best behavior--at least while I am looking.  Dogs don't care.  Almost finished with my dad's Fathers Day socks--yes, they are late, but almost done!  Need to finish granddaughter's sweater before fall.  Will use that as a 'take along' project to the farmer's market--something to do when it isn't busy.  Have a lot more projects to get started for the year and the year is half over!  Need to get the Fenters' Farm Farmers' Market Cookbook started which will showcase the vegetables and baked goods that we do AND I have some good genealogy leads that my father is anxiously following.  Well, work awaits........................
