Late, late, late…

Alice in Wonderland following the White Rabbit down the hole couldn’t have been more confused than we are by this weather.  The cherries ARE coloring though.  We keep looking at them wondering if we’ll spend the entire month blowing water off the trees.  The pumpkins are all planted.  The squash are going in now.  Another field is being prepped now for sweet corn seed.  I spent another 3 hours flat strap on the tractor in the apple orchard, reclaiming the wild life preserve… the new to us mower working hard to cut down the forest of rain fed grass.  I’m still trying to find regulations that will allow us to have the chickens in there; until then they will be content to roam free in the iris garden.  This is our last weekend open in the Iris Test Garden for UDIG, so if you want rhizomes this year, hustle out!  Time to go out and start evening chores…I’ve got to start hiking the cherries every week now.  Start dreaming of those ripe Chelan’s now!
