We have greenery

Here's the update of all the excitement around the property. First, things I want to grow that are actually growing! Here's my squash (and apparently casa de baby Watson that made it into the picture as it's constantly in the way!)

Here are my bean plants.
Here are my rows of corn. Next project, learn to distinguish the pasture grass from the rows of corn in my weeding ; ) Behind it is the peony I left in place, some weeds and eventually my radishes and carrots that haven't made an appearance yet.

Now, for my Weed or Worth-it? section. Here are things I left in place, but haven't determined if they're weeds or not. First, I know the plant on the left is part of my very healthy butterfly bush, but I'm stumped on the right.

Another mystery.
A pretty mystery that is most likely a weed, but I'm still waiting for 100% confirmation before I tackle pulling all of them.
I recognize this, so I'm pretty certain it's not a weed . . . but we'll see!

Now for another game . . . where is my rhubarb?!?!?! When we had family over for Memorial Day, my aunt had to point it out for me because gee . . . I somehow walked right past it!



Anyway, once I found it here's a small harvest from today. I made Rhubarb Coffee Cake the other day and had grand plans to make a Rhubarb-Raspberry Coffee cake today. Well, the super cheap raspberries we picked up on Friday had already gone bad today, so I made yet another Rhubarb Coffee cake.
This fall I'll be moving the rhubarb, but until then, weed/grass management on the top of the property is my next project.
