Burmuda Grass, Veggies , Flowers, Geese and Rabbits, Oh My!



      We were given 2 bags of Bermuda grass last week end. We have it planted in a section in the backyard and watering it everyday keeping it wet.  Hoping that it grows and starts spreading and filling in.  We are wanting to get it growing good and then start digging some up and planting all over the property.






     Just look at these full and blooming Black Eyed Peas.  We are so excited. There is even pods starting to grow. 


     The cantaloupe plants are growing and there is and has been a lot of blooms on it. Hopefully we will have a lot of large cantaloupes this year.


     The corn is up to my chest so far and still growing. The first row and a half is already growing ears of corn.  A lot of the stalks have at least 3 ears on them. The other rows are starting to get the tassels on them now.



     It is looking like we are going to be having a nice harvest of cucumbers this year.  As I don't get to go to the Farmers Market like I use to, I am hoping for enough to make a lot of pickles this year.



     As for the Pumpkins and the Watermelons, We already have some Pumpkins forming and just waiting to see the first Watermelon growing.  The chickens and Ducks will be really happy this year.




     There are lots of Tomatoes and Peppers growing. The Rhubarb, and the Dill is getting great and you should see the size of the leaves on the rhubarb. I am also hoping to gather a lot of Dill seeds this year.








     It is getting very colorful on the Ranch. The Chaste tree is in full bloom and the Lantern tree is all gold and getting its little Lanterns on it.
     The Wildflower seeds that I had last year did a great job at reseeding and just look at how pretty they are this year. So much yellow. orange, white and pinks.






     I finally found a Desert Willow last week and have it planted in the back year.  It bloomed last night and the flowers are so pretty and smell so good.



     We brought back 4 baby geese from my parents house last week end.  The ducks have adopted them and now most of the time they are with them. Sometimes they go off by themselves or the ducks go off somewhere. Then the baby geese will start yelling for them. It is so cute as the are the same size as the ducks.







     The outside rabbits know the sound of the scythe when Brent is cutting greens and will all come running to the gate and wait for him to throw the greens over the fence for them. Brent will get a bucket and go feed them and then sit right where the greens are.  They will all come running to the food to eat right by him.





   
Until next week,
The 2 Moore's Ranch

  1. Your garden is looking so green and pretty! I hope you have a great crop and are able to harvest a lot of veggies. I'm glad the ducks adopted the goslings and are taking care of them.
