The Heat is On!

8/1/2019

The heat is here to stay and is both good and bad. Many flowers really love the heat and as long as their roots have enough water, the heat and sun really make them pop! Some flowers don't love the heat as much and it signals to them that its time to make seeds before the cold comes again. Tomatoes love it! Chickens don't really do. They can't cool off with a dip in some fresh water like the ducks so I make sure they have shade, cool water, and some cool treats like watermelon and crispy lettuce.

Each year, I promise myself that I won't let them turn into chaos, and each year they look like this. lol. There's always next year! Especially as this will be the last week of the sweet peas in bouquets. The heat is causing them to burst into bloom on ever shorter stems and I wanna give em enough time to turn those gorgeous, sweet smelling flowers into chubby, little round seeds!

Rosemary, one half of the Golden Girls, may be an elderly chicken but she knows special goodies when she sees em. Gotta put these outta her reach before she samples to test if they taste as good as they look.

The ripening begins! The first little cherry tomatoes in the dome are as good as gold!

While the cherry tomatoes are doing awesome! The bigger heirlooms have gone wild! (through no fault of their own) But I hack away at them little by little each day to tame and trellis this chaos before it envelopes the dome as they are currently tryin to do.

When harvesting flowers in the early morning, I often find a few slumberers waiting for the sun to warm them up. I like to imagine they like to hit the snooze button a few times before they are ready for a busy day.
