Hot and Sunny Days

Most of our friends love the sun because they are working inside most of the day, but with this sun-streak we're in and the forecast calling for more, we're getting a little tired of it considering we have to water the fields to keep the veggies from dying! We were in Saturday and Sunday to water the fields to make sure that they were getting enough to drink. The peppers and the basil especially are not enjoying the heat, so we have to keep checking them for wilting.

We had 3 drills of corn planting in Colombia first thing in the morning, but just as we were going to do the second 3 drills, the wheel on our wheelbarrow blew out yesterday which put a damper on our planting dreams for the day. We instead spent the day watering and weeding Mozambique. We also planted what was left of our broccoli seed where we planted broc #1 since a lot of the seed were probably washed away or rotted during the week of rain we had and only about 20 seedlings sprouted. 

Today, still hot and sunny, was spent finishing planting the corn now that our wheelbarrow had been fixed. While Sydney watered Colombia, I prepared and planted the 5 rows of cucumber mounds in Iran (Syd joined later). The end of the day was reserved for more mulching. Now if only we can get some rain!
