Guinea fowl parents have recruited the whole guinea flock to help watch over their baby.
The goats are wondering if they need anymore help.
Stronger, Tougher
Have been working on the vernal pond in the goat pasture again.
I made this pond deeper and the dam higher so it can handle the snowmelt.
Iowa Silvergrass
Amur Silvergrass is an attractive grass when it is flowering.
The plumes last a long time into the fall and quite ornamental.
Flowering Vines
Vines are some fast-growing, flowering plants. Morning Glories and Firecracker Vines attract hummingbirds to the garden.
The Hardy Passion fruit has amazing flowers. It is also known as Maypop and can create edible fruit in milder climates than mine.
Peach Tomato
One of the mildest tomatoes I have ate is the Wapsipinicon Peach Tomato.
The plants produce a lot of tomatoes and they are fuzzy like a peach, too.
Rather Look Than Eat
West Indian Gherkin is a fast growing vine and produces a lot of fruit.
Too bad I don’t like eating it.
Black Locust Forming a Forest
The young Black Locust trees continue to grow fast and are starting to sucker.
The Black Locusts are fast growing trees that will help me establish other trees.
Rise to the Top
Clouds keep moving across the sky as each month goes on.
Some moments are better to capture forever than others.
Black Locust Leaves
There are some cultivars of the Black Locust that do not have the usual compound leaves.
The lower leaf is of the Weeping Black Locust and is composed of a lower amount of leaflets.
Watch Over Them
There are many different insects that I come across while outside.
Sometimes it could be a large beetle or other times a spiny caterpillar.
