Kudzu
I totally underestimated the resilience of Kudzu. I bush-hogged the vineyard site, use a boxblade to pull roots and clean up. All looked good this fall, but spring and summer has been a fight. Every weekend is a battle to take back and kill this stuff. Kudzu grows about 12″ in 24hrs. With all the travel I’ve been on, by the time I get home, its several feet in length. I’ve used roundup as much as I can, but with all the rain, it just isn’t effective. Digging, hacking, and cutting seems to be the best course of action. I’ve broke one hoe, and bent the other. I’m slowly but surely winning the battle. Each weekend I find new pockets of vines, but less and less each week. I will win this battle!
Corn is ready
Grew Peaches and Cream Corn this year. They are ready to eat. Koda loves looking for the caterpillars. Could careless about the corn. Most of the corn had a least one cat, but only really eating the top of corn with the silk. Put corn on grill. Was very good.
Vegetables are growing, so are the weeds
Cumber, watermelon, corn, and pumpkins are all doing well. I did plant pumpkins way too soon. They will be ready in Sept. Oh well live and learn.
Grapevine and Muscadine update
Every week they need to be trained to the wire. Purchased a great taping tool that makes the training quick. No issues with blackrot or other fungus yet, and no bugs yet.
Garden is growing
I spend most of time out of town so the weeds are starting to take over. Not much I can do, no time to weed.
Best sound – rain on a tin roof
You’ve got to love this sound! Rain beating down on tin roof of the log cabin.
