This storm rolled in around close to 2 pm yesterday.
This picture is as it rolled from west to east( looking east)
It cooled down so quickly, this is an indicator of hail.
Thankfully we didn't get hail, only 1/10th inch of rainfall.

It was eery looking and it did lightening in the cloud and rumble a

bit.When ever it goes from well into the 90's and you see one of

these rolling in you worry about LARGE hail. On the evening

weather forecast, in several location in North Western MT they had

sightings of funnel clouds. In the city to our North, on Sat., they had

a funnel cloud sighting and a man was struck by lightening and killed.

We're beginning to harvest herbs for tinctures and drying. Here are

several bundles of each, Chamomile and Russian Tarragon, which

will be hung to dry.

Today our plan is to harvest our garlic; braid and hang to dry.

The Greek oregano and sage are ready for harvest and lets us not

forget our mints( choc., peppermint and spearmint) for tea and

tinctures. Our Hyssop, lemon balm and wormwood are next on

the harvest list.

We're still weeding, we about have it all caught up, now if the

rain would cease long enough so we could finish and till the

walkways. All in all the garden looks to be producing well.

Our first planting of radishes are done, so will sow another 1/2

row. The cucumbers will soon have blooms and not long following

will be cukes. Our bush beans( Bocchicia) are beginning to bloom,

we of course will look forward to our first meal of fresh beans, new

potatoes and ham, YUM! YUM!

This last weekend we removed the "Walls of Water" from the

tomatoes and surprise, surprise they all have nice sized fruit

forming. The peppers are blooming and Mike de-weeded

our two rows of carrots, which are thick and thriving, even if they

were being choked by the weeds. Our cabbage( red and early flat

dutch) are forming nice sized heads, they seem to favor the

location we planted them in this season( shady in the heat of the

day)

The second planting of sweet corn is up about 3-4 inches tall,

praying we have a long enough season for them to produce.

The Rhubarb is ready for it's final harvest until late Fall. It isn't

going to amount to much, so we'll simply freeze it for later use.

Okay need to run and get laundry on the line, let the girls(cows)

out and clean their barns and then weed and harvest in the

garden.

Many blessing for your day!
