Mulch Bails Ready...

I hope your weekend doesn't look like this!

Lets see., weed around all plants...water in....mulch heavily....repeat!  Have a great weekend!!! I'll show you the final results next week.   Blu Bear

We REALLY need rain!!!

They are calling for some rain this weekend....but as it stands right now, many farmers are loosing their crops.  My garden is still holding its own.   How is yours doing?  If you are growing potted plants, make sure they get extra water, and perhaps some shade during the peak heat of day.  With temps running as high as 107, every plant is in danger of burning out.  Just look at your lawn! Yuck!!!  At first only the weeds were left green...now they've started turning brown too.
 I have (had) a thermometer on my back deck, and it did the cartoon boil over thing.

Its been a little cooler the last few days, but the weather man says that the heat is on the way back again.  So make sure you put your plants to bed with a cool drink of water.  Us poor bears really suffer in the heat...fur and all....same as your pets!  Please make sure they have plenty of fresh water, and a cool shady place to take a nice summer nap.  Your pal...  Blu Bear

O'Bearys Thoughts....

A wise bear once told me...

"You never really own anything...you just get to touch it.  The question is, what will that touch be?  O'Beary

HELLO TO RUSSIA !!!

YOU"D THINK THEY WERE GIVING IT AWAY!!!

I know you humans use this stinky stuff for something...boy it must be really special.  People were cutting others off just to get to the pumps sooner.  My view from the back seat shows cars everywhere.  The line seams to go on forever.  I wonder what people would do if it said 2.05  Blu Bear!

Back yard boat waits for the water...and the dreamer

Boat ride anyone???

I'll bet it still floats!!!  Well, it is made of wood.  But, if you are REALLY ADVENTURIOUS ...don't forget the life jacket.  Not every bear has a wooden sail boat in his back yard...behind the barn...by the garden.  Straw Beary says I'm just being silly...but as hot as it has been, a bear can dream.  Just think of it...captain of your own ship, gently sailing across the cool refreshing water...not a care in the world...sailing....          ZZZzzzzzzzzz  Blu Bear

Remember this picture!



Winter squash and pumpkins

The way it looked before planting the seeds

Oh, sure, it might not look like much now.... but just give it a few good rainy nights, and these little plants are going to get HUGE!!!  The 4 rows on the left are about 5 feet apart.  The acorn squash, the plants on the right, are a little bit over 2 feet apart. 

Knee high by the 4th of July???

Who wants Pie???

Acorn Squash ready to flower!

O.K., so we only make pumpkin pie, blueberry pie, strawberry pie...pumpkin ice cream...pumpkin  bread...blueberry muffins...etc. etc... Happy 4th of July!!!

Dorthy, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...

Storm clean-up across Ohio

Downed limbs at the farm

Oopps...Guess my "rain dance" was off just a little bit.  High winds and hail left many Ohioans without power and a big mess to clean up.  Luckily, Blu Bears Garden survived without much damage.  And, although we've got a bunch of branches to pick-up, we really needed the rain.
