Another awesome day in Central Missouri. Garden is rocking!

My romaine lettuce has all bolted in the past couple days, along with most of my radishes, so I’ve been feeding that stuff to the chickens. One more picking on the snow peas and I think they’ll be chicken food as well.

Kentucky Wonder beans have vined to the top of the fence, cucumbers are halfway there.

Garlic is turning brown and falling over so I’ll be digging that in the next few days.

I can start digging spuds any time now. I uncovered one plant and it that one is any indication I’m going to have a nice crop.

Broccoli and cauliflower are ready to harvest.

I’m not sure how much of that I’ll accomplish this weekend. Mrs. Augie is out of town so I’m going fishing tomorrow morning and to the dirt track races tomorrow night.

Sounds like a fun weekend. You got a lot done last week, so it’s a good time to have a little fun - Yes?

I was sorry to read about you selling your herd, but I do know that I too wouldn’t miss all that work. I’d do it if I had to, put right now we don’t have to, so no animals except the dog for us.

I’d love to have my own pastured chicken eggs, but even that’s too much trouble.
