I don’t know… I just liked this one.
And it shows off the new greenhouse cover.

Funny Honey
We’re dealing with older, crystallized honey this year, so much of it had to be scraped by hand. Z helped fill the jars. Now we have them in the sun to heat the honey, separate out the comb.
But these beauties are destined for the stove top, a double-boiler, which will be faster, easier. We enjoyed rolling them out to the back yard, though!
Why upside-down? Because the comb floats to the top, which becomes the bottom, and so forth.

New Trellises in Crawler Patch
The goal is to get the crawlers to crawl UP instead of out and about.
Tomato ‘trees’ will hang on lateral wires to be strung in the coming days. Since some of those arms grow to be 8-10 feet long, this will be a significant improvement on the useless little cages we’ve been using for the past few years.
‘The Schooner’
In the interest of simplification (and amplification), we transformed mounds 8, 9, and 10 into a new planter, which Ruby has nicknamed ‘the schooner.’
Enclosed therein as of today: new strawberry plants, spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, some bulb perennials on the east end (new photo pending).
The robins love it — perch on the side, on the lookout for worms, presumably.
And a big thanks to E for help with construction!!
