It has been so hot this week! In the 90’s everyday. And that’s not even counting the humidity! So, needless to say, we have not worked in the gardens this week like we should have. Everything is still progressing nicely, though.
Here are apples on the trees in our yard. My husband moved 5 trees from up on the hill down to our yard. Last year was the first time we have apples off them. Which we didn’t even get to eat! I don’t know what ate them, but they were gone! lol I’m thinking these will be good pie apples.
I put the flower pictures in another post.

I love that you use cardboard to control weeds – I've done that too and it works great! We have a turkey farm and we use cardboard to keep the turkeys close to the heaters when they are little – so I've been re-using it in my garden!

Your garden looks like a fun place to be:) Do you milk the goats? I would like to get some for poison oak and blackberry duty…
thanks for sharing~ over from Jami's garden party

Katie, we love using cardboard in the garden, because we hate weeding. lol My husband brings it home from work, so we can get large pieces for free.
Heather, No, we don't milk them, they are meat goats. Although, in February, when we had a mother that wouldn't nurse the kid, my husband tried to milk her, to bottle feed the kid, and Mama would have no part of it, whatsoever. Boer Crosses don't make as much milk as milk goats do. They only make enough for their own kids. We would like to get a milk goat, though.
Goats LOVE blackberry bushes!
