Monday Garden Club

It's one thing to get up at 5am on a Monday morning to the annoying sounds of the alarm clock, but this morning we were also greeted with an early morning thunderstorm, complete with flickering lights and a frightened Binny.

We DO need the rain since we haven't had ANY in over 2 weeks, but still, I wish for once the rain would come down quietly while we're sleeping as not to interfere with the rest of our summer, which here in Wisconsin never seems long enough.  It's good for the garden though, right?

While we weren't getting any rain all last week, I decided to get my butt out in the garden and do some major weeding.  I still have more to do which is evident by my photos, but it's a huge improvement already.

Kohlrabi, ready to pick.

Bush beans

Baby peaches

The Mulberries on our tree are ripening!  When we noticed the berries a few weeks ago, the Gardener pounded some pipes into the ground and wrapped the whole tree in netting so we could actually eat our berries this year and not lose them all to the birds.  The netting has been working great and every other day, we head out there with a bowl and pick til our fingers are purple.  After last night's picking we had enough to make some yummy mulberry muffins.
