Mary found and picked our first tomatoes tonight. Will have to get bacon tomorrow at Farmer's Market and make BLT's for supper tomorrow night. I always love eating our first tomatoes. This year the winners were our yellow ones which have always been my favorite.
A neighbor down the road brought me starts of her 4 O'clock flowers. Cleared some area tonight and planted some of them. Can't wait until they grow and bloom. Also, planted the little flower beds we made around a hard to mow part in our front yard. Finished my planting time tonight with the geraniums I bought yesterday to keep the Japanese beetles off of my strawberries. I have been picking the bugs off and feeding them to the chickens. The beetles don't like the smell of geraniums so hopefully that will keep them away all together.
Tomorrow, we get our load of mulch and I am hoping to get the rest of the front flower bed done. After we are done with that it is off to 4th of July celebration and parade downtown followed by fireworks tomorrow night. (Lexington has celebration tomorrow since 4th is on Sunday.)
Hope you all have a joyous 4th of July this weekend.
