“We’re old & don’t raise a whole lot of anything. Going overboard raising things tends to create a stress that we don’t need at our age.”

It is 103 degrees outside here and I am 81. There is no way I could spend time in that heat growing food. I can do it if I start in the early spring and have done it about a year ago, growing food plants from seed. I had to prove to myself I could do that, and I did after trial and error the year before that one.

I think I will buy plants next spring, not grow them from seed, but then I think about the ones I did grow from seed, and think I should do it that way, just not as many.

Anyway, I understand your comment about age, it does make a difference.

We’re getting ready for fall and winter plantings. At the moment hubby’s okra are going crazy. I’m thinking of freezing some for winter. He loves them.
