Growing

Despite the fact that we've received zip, zero, zilch rain for like a month or more (except that it's actually raining right now!!!!) our garden and our two newest boys are growing and growing.  Ok, so we've watered the garden quite a bit....and the calves have been here less than a week....whatever, growing is happening.

 Bucky (above) and Train Wreck (below) are doing quite well.  They still eagerly greet us each time we show up at their pen.  Last night I disappointed them by visiting without any snacks for them, but they let me pet them and scratch behind their ears.  Speaking of - aren't their ears enormous?  I guess they'll grow into them eventually.

 Our garden is growing - which feels amazing since we have no idea what we're doing.  I love the color of the cucumber and canteloupe blossoms.  It's such a cheery yellow.

 The few green tomatoes hanging on our plants have issues - brown spots - from watering them by sprinkling?  That's what I'm told.  I guess we'll have to change our watering tactics.

 Our potatoes seem to be coming to sputtering halt, as do our onions.  Our green beans have lots of little blooms on them and will hopefully produce lots of beans for us to can. Fingers crossed.
