This is what the green bean high tunnel looked like in June
We've had a lot of rain this summer. Our August has, so far, been more like April weather. I think we have gotten 12-14 inches of rain so far this month. I think we're safely out of drought status now. The pond is pretty full, so that's unusual for August, for sure. We've been keeping ourselves busy. This is a puzzle that Katy and I started and Isaiah and I finished:
The hummingbirds are emptying the big feeder within about 24 hours time now. They take a little longer to empty the medium sized one. They have their favorites. We have counted as many as 12-14 hummingbirds around the feeders at once. It's hard to count them since they move so fast, though. Our plantings are all taking hold pretty well. Not sure about some of the fruit trees, but the landscaping stuff all seems to be doing well.
He found a nasty surprise this morning, though. When he went outside, he spotted a wasp nest on the back of the camper:
He used a whole can of wasp spray on it. Luckily, he didn't get stung at all. Must be a good year for wasps. Bet he won't be able to remove it whole from the license plate, but that's okay. I just hope the wasps don't live through that whole can of spray!
