Corn

Should corn be Knee High by 4th of July? If so...then I'm in trouble:)

Between my CRAZY schedule and the constant rain that we are experiencing here in upstate NY, my corn is only about 6 inches tall and surrounded by weeds and grass. Hopefully the remainder of the summer is a little more sunny and dry or my corn does not stand a chance.

Aaaahhh the joy of gardening:) I'm hoping to update this with a couple pictures....but I have to wait for the thunderstorm to pass!

Ok....the thunderstorms have given way to a cloudy day, with the occasional patch of sunshine. So this is what I'm up against the next couple days....wish me luck!

Thanks for reading & remember to stop by http://www.naturesway2grow.com/ for all your gardening needs! I personally bought a little time saving cultivator from http://astore.amazon.com/organgarde00-20 and it was free shipping and was delivered in 4 days! I couldn't believe it!

Blueberries

Blueberries have been grown by my family for many years. 3 years ago I transplanted a few bushes....actually had to use an axe to separate these HUGE bushes into smaller plants, from my grandmothers home.

Well, all was going well until the deer found them this spring. The bushes were almost eaten down to nothing.....all but about a foot of them has been gobbled up by these adorable little bests!

But to my shock and amazement I found that 3 out of my 8 remaining bushes actually have blueberries on them this year. This is the first year since we brought them to our property that we have had blueberries & I'm very excited!

I just mulched all around them and used some of my horse manure to fertilize them. They seem to have really taken off! I'll be sure to keep you posted during these VERY exciting times around the Perry Farm:)

Cultivating

On Monday my husband and I took a day and dedicated it to catching up on the garden. We were so close to having it completely weeded and then we started seeing smoke coming from our cultivator. My husband turns it off and just shakes his head. Apparently a small rock has completely destroyed my poor little overworked machine.

So off to purchase a new one, as there is no way to hand till this 60x90 garden with our work schedules and social engagements without it! We looked at local shops first, as I like to give them my business if at all possible, and then decided to hit the Internet and found this one on Amazon.com. This was the exact model on the show floor of many local hardware stores, but they couldn't come close to the price. So in 5 to 9 business days our cultivator will be here and hopefully I can finally get caught up on my garden:)

I also liked the products offered on Amazon.com so much that I have created Rebecca's Garden Supply Store located at http://astore.amazon.com/organgarde00-20. You can find a wide assortment of Tillers & Cultivators all at rock bottom prices. If there is something not listed give me a shout or check out www.naturesway2grow.com.! I will assist you in finding your product and also get it to you at a rock bottom price:)
