Blackberries and Clover

This past week was noted by two nice rainfalls but I still spent time watering in consideration of a forecast of three days with temperatures deep into the 90's. It will soon be time to hook up the automatic sprinklers. The tomatoes and squash, in particular, need lots of water. All the squash is up now and it will be fun to watch over the next month the rapid growth. The Bodacious, Seneca, and Quickie sweet corn is up. The Quickie is a 60-day variety with small sweet ears. We should have that available by late July.

Red and white clover is now in full bloom. It this picture the clover provides a nice backdrop to the still fragrant blackberry blossoms. This weekend we'll segregate the blackberry honey in the beehives before the big closer nectar flow begins.
