Update

George and I started haying later than we ever have, with a very wet June moving into a very hot July.   But, there is now feed hay in the barn for sale.   Whoo hoo!

The garden is doing pretty well in spite of the weather.

Potatoes, bush beans, onions....

I used more mulch hay in the garden this year than in the past, and will see how that goes.  Used it in paths, and for the potatoes.

Most of the squash plants have been having a rough time with cucumber beetles this year.  But, the zucchini below got to spend time under insect netting.
