Weeding, Killing, and Hanging

a lot to do today.  I was out working by eight this morning.

The peas are doing really well.  There are a lot of pods and a lot of blossoms.  We should be picking some by next week end.

There are a lot of starts from the poplar trees that are growing east and south of house six.  I cut off the tops which left little stumps just above the ground.  I painted round up on all of the stumps.

 The burpless cucumber plants are big and ready to be planted in the ground.  I pulled up most of the pea plants.  The above photo shows the stack of vines.  I pulled off the pods.  There are some in the white color bowl.   I took the vines out to the compost pile outside of the west door.

I needed more tomahooks and used some of the wire left in house six.

 This is the cucumber plant.  It is in good shape and does not need to be cut.

I planted them in the hoop tunnel where the peas used to be.  Some are eight inches apart and some are every six inches.

Another shot.  

I sprayed three tanks of killed weeds in the ditch, out by the grapes, and in other arears around the garden.  I painted the grass in these geraniums with round up.  I didn't want to spray the geraniums.

The eggplants have a lot of weed.  On hands and knees I and pulled and hoed out the weeds.

I hung some of the smaller tomato plants.

I made a bag of vegetables for Ann and Raymond Stevens,

Lots of alums  and fox tail lilies in this garden North of the house and south of the road.
