June 28

After a good weekend home, a new week starts on the farm. Storms came through here Friday and Saturday, as well. Lots of rain, but minimal damage. And, no chicken casualties! Yay! I was almost afraid to ask when I came back!

Today was weeding and seeding again. Seems like the mantra these days. Hard to keep up with both. We also worked on a trellis system, of sorts, for all the tomatoes we planted a few weeks ago. Metal stakes driven into the ground, "cow panels" (large 4' x 8' panels of crossed metal rods) tied in place, and the plants tied to that. We got one row done (took 3 of us all afternoon) and realized we'll run short of petal posts. Something different will have to be done for some of the remaining rows.

Today was also H's birthday. Her folks came over, and we all had I nice chicken dinner together. A good end to the day.
