You’re making me nostalgic for my 40’ row of mature asparagus at my old farm! I have one 8x4 plot now and am adding another 8x4 next spring - I’ll be ordering from Jung’s too - Surprise, LOL!

Thanks for supporting me in my retirement! :)

I really SHOULD be out there doing some stuff; we hit 45 degrees today and there is no snow anywhere on the grounds. You’re right about it looking so drab, gray, muddy - but our grass is still green! Beau has been ‘grazing’ both the mule and the steer as much as possible. They’re loving it!

We’ve been having major electrical problems at our house - turns out one of our ‘legs’ of electricity was on the fritz. Of course it wasn’t the Energy Company’s fault - but they DID come back again today with an electrician we hired to resolve the issue. It appears to be resolved.

And, yes, Beau IS an Electrician - but not on the high wire stuff! It was fun watching the guys use their lifts - like a Bucket Ballet, LOL!

Really REALLY tired of re-setting every clock and appliance in the place, though!

Electrical problems are no fun, especially during cold weather.

Howard says he'd be happy to get up from his nap to help, but lacking opposable thumbs he's afraid that he'd only be in the way so he's going to stay on his cushion instead. lol

I got a good chuckle out of him earlier today. A reel came across my feed of a hound that had a grown coon bayed in a shallow water hole. Howard got curious when he heard the barking and came to investigate. He could see the other dog, and he could hear the other dog, but he was absolutely confounded by the fact that he couldn't SMELL the other dog. Dude is a constant source of entertainment. lol
