Late June, Early July Scenes from the Farm

In the last four weeks, we have had ten and a half inches of rain.  There's been lots of mud and the summer crops are just holding on, while the spring and fall crops are doing well. We may have a great crop of cabbage and leeks.  We'll see as a heatwave begins this week.
Putting straw mulch on the potatoes after hilling; then covering with white row cover them until harvest in September.
Yellow Swallowtail caterpillar devouring the flowering dill.
Young Barn Swallow taking a brief rest on the tomato stakes between eating mosquitoes.
Today, I missed taking a picture of a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers!  I hope to see them again.
