The chickens are starting to lay. It seems like it has taken a long time. I put a clock and light in a last week to keep the day light longer.
The sweet potatoes are beginning to grow. I have sprinkler that is turned down low and leave it on most of the day.
The potatoes have been doing really well except for the one on the right. It should be looking like the one on the left. Flea beetles and earwigs have been eating them. I sprayed them with Sevin. It really works on grasshoppers and the label says it will kill flea beetles and earwigs.
When we got home from church Sunday, the little bucket was at our front door. It has some kitchen items in it.
When I was watering Sunday afternoon, this dove was in house 2. It was gone by Monday morning.
I started work this morning at six. It was much cooler. I tied up all the cucumber plants and some of the tomato plants. I picked a whole bunch of cucumbers this morning and wrapped them. I took seventeen of them to Duane's Market. He gave me 45 cents each.
We used the cucumbers and store bought peppers to make sweet relish. There are thirty-one half pints, and one pint and one fourth pint. We made three different batches. These should last all year.
I moved more plants onto pad one. Less that I have to water. I lowered the watering time by ten minutes. The water will run for two hours and ten minutes.
