Tis the season for more weedin' all right. There must be some zen in weeding involving getting all the muscle groups working together like a well oiled machine. Some of the jewelweed in the raspberry patch are approaching 7 ft. tall. Off with their heads. I prune them off at ground level and use the tops as mulch. Thankfully they have not gone to seed yet or it wound be a jewelweed forest.
Planting some late season turnips, spinach, carrots this week come hell or high water...
Jasmine our Jack Russell/Rat terrier cross is ten months old this week. We had a super early morning treat together yesterday. She sat patiently waiting on a downed log next to the most abundantly loaded serviceberry trees I have ever seen. Jasmine likes serviceberries or saskatoons better than any old dog biscuit. MMMM they taste and look sort of like blueberries only they can be picked standing up. They are right next to our power line right of way. If I had not put up that no spraying herbicides sign Crow wing power sprayers probaably would have sprayed the beautiful fruti bearers. I can get rid of the trees that will grow to block the right of way myself and leave the yummy saskatoons along the edge.
Get ready with the neti pot in hand. I just visited the roadside of a client's home down in brainerd and found my nemisis ragweed about to pollen out. We only got 1/2 inch of rain last night. still raining now. Humidity 100%. Got a new de-humidifyer for the basement office area. New plant room addition going well. It is getting floored this week. I will be speaking at the Emily City hall at a picnic there. Bringing some of our plant friends, a raincoat and that summer picnic appetite for sure!
