Summer Time is officially here !!!

Saturday, June 23 - The hot, humid weather we have had the last 3 days has finally left us for a brief time. Yesterday, was a day where I needed to run errands, pick blueberries and also purchase a new weed trimmer.

My wife and I begun our day by going to Mood's Farm to pick blueberries. Mood's located on Rt. 77 in Mullica Hill New Jersey is a great place to go if you want pick various fruits throughout the growing season. This is a place my wife and I visit on a regular basis especially during the early summer and fall. Yesterday we picked 23 lbs of blueberries which we freeze and use throughout the year in smoothies and home baked products.

I have been researching which brand to purchase and decided on a stihl weed trimmer which can use interchangeable attachments. My purchase yesterday included a trimmer and single blade which is used to cut brush.

 Our flower garden is beginning to grow with the hot and humid weather.

 The sunflower seeds, which have fallen from our bird feeders have grown to 4 ' in height and are almost ready to bloom.

 Flowers are starting to bloom and attract hummingbirds throughout the day.

 The vegetable garden is beginning to yield zucchinis, tomatoes, broccoli and yellow squash.

 All of the plants which have grown from the compost pile are doing well and are beginning to flower.

 The raspberries plants are beginning to produce fruit and are now beginning to turn red.
