The pumpkins have just started blooming. While we wait for the bees to learn where to go for food, we will continue to feed them. The farmer puts on his beekeeper suite and heads out to feed the bees with a sugar water mixture he's holding in his can.
The blooms look great on the pumpkins. We're hoping for a good crop this fall. Nice big blooms.
While we wait on the pumpkins, we collect and sell sweet corn from our small corn field. Oh, my it has been delicious! I've started putting back just a few ears at a time in the freezer as I cook the corn for dinner. Our neighbors seem to really be enjoying the corn we pick. Some like picking it themselves with their families too.
The last of the berry harvests are taking place and I've had fun making small batches of jams along the way. Our jams will be on sale this fall during the pumpkin harvest. I'm not making a lot, so it will be get it while you can. :)
