Almost from Sun-up to Sun-down

After the morning news and breakfast I began the yard work.

Yesterday, I transplanted eight  Purple Cherry.  I didn't get the picture until this morning.

It was a cool morning so I made an irrigation furrow for the potatoes.  I dug it on the south side and put the soil on top of the potatoes.  

There some large Candy onions that I planted from seed around the first of the year.  I made seven holes, put the onion in the hole and pushed soil around it.  I didn't cut off the tops of the onions.

The Stephenson's next door wanted some rhubarb.  I pulled a bunch of stems for them.

I ordered seeds for Alisha.  These are Miracle Fruit seeds.  There were four in the package.    We also planted some strawberry seeds and one that we could not find the name.

Here Alisha planted some in a clear plastic drinking cup.  It is a cup in a cup.  She made a hole in the bottom of the cup with the soil.  Then put water in the bottom cup to guarantee that the planted cup would get well irrigated.

 Carol is giving the lesson at the DUP meeting Monday.  Part of her lesson has to with silk worms and mulberry tree.  The above photo is one that I think that Brigham Young had planted through out the state.

A closer photo.

I ordered lady bugs and they were early this afternoon..  There are 500 in each container.

Clair Harmon ordered sod and it came today.  Several people helped lay down the sod.

I can't tell who this is.

 We had a break for cookies and a drink of water.

A couple of days ago, Sister Harmon bought some geraniums from us.  She planted them in the planter near the front door.

The burpless cucumbers are coming up.

Just before dark I turned loose the lady bugs in house six.  There cabbage and other things that are lousy with aphids.  I was going to put on container in house two and the other one in house six.  House six has a whole lot more aphids than house six does.

Thining Lettece

The lettuce has been doing well.  I planted it three to five seeds in each cell.

With tweezers I pulled all of them out except one.  They are still small, but should grow quite fast.  

I found a lady bug in house six this afternoon.  It was on a dry leaf.  I picked it up with the dry leaf between my thumb and finger.  I took it two house six where three peppers plants lousy with aphids are.  When I got there the lady bug was gone.  I went back to house six and found it.  It is now on the pepper plant.

Another photo

And one more. Will it be there tomorrow?  That is the question.

I clipped off all of the dead stems and leaves from each plant.

This photo for some reason has not color.  It is a picture of the carrots.  Over the last couple of weeks it looked like they needed water.  I poured on them two buckets of water.  Maybe they will perk up some.  It is too late in the season to grow anymore, perhaps the will come back next spring.
