Another Muddy week here at the Farm. I don't think that I've been completely clean since January. We got another 4 and a half inches of rain on Saturday both here and while we were at the market, then about an inch on Sunday. There was only a small chance for the rest of the week and I thought we were clear to dry up and finish our field but then a pretty strong storm popped up and wiped out that hope. It seems like it should stop soon. Saturday is supposed to be clear but so was last Saturday. we all know how that worked out. My shoes still haven't dried out from Market and they're called Sloggers.

We have a ton of volunteer pumpkins thanks to feeding our sheep a couple of Jeep loads of pumpkins last Fall. This is just 2 of the fruits that we have coming on the vine. Probably they won't make it to Autumn when we really need them, Squash bugs are impossible to control even if you use chemicals, which of course we don't. Still, this means lots of Squash blossoms until they shrivel up but maybe they'll keep the squash bugs and cucumber beetles off of everything else. This baby here weighs about 20 Lbs. already. Dill's Atlantic Giant maybe?

Here's to a clear weekend and a lack of mud. See ya Saturday at Tower Grove Park.

God's Blessings on you and yours,

TTFN,
