A late ping.
I’ve had company for TWO weeks and, although I enjoyed them, I am behind on getting some planting done. However, I did get another VERY important mission accomplished, spent several days on the lake fishing.
I do have lettuce and onions up, some asparagus spears and brocholli (sp) now seeding.
And, typical for Tennessee, I have to go out here in a few minutes and cover everything up (including my annual flowers) because a freeze is predicted for tonight, after several weeks of temps in the mid to high 70s.
We had a little snow here this morning in central Illinois.
Two weeks?! Yikes! Love my family, but two weeks is kinda pushing it! You got to go fishing?! I am so jealous! The wind has been blowing here—forever, it seems. Know what you mean about temps. It’s worse than a rollercoaster here, altho we’re hoping this is the last dip. I’m still waiting to put out my warm season stuff—don’t have time to do it twice! Taters are up good—thot they were going to drown or swim away there for awhile!
Have a great day!
Welcome back girlangler. Seems you had some nice temps for fishing these last couple of weeks. Catch anything?
I live in the woods, so I don’t garden. I tried, and tried, but I just don’t get enough sun. Even my open space has tall trees around it, so I give up. That, and the deer (who are just rats with antlers) will even come up to my front porch and eat my hostas. They act like I have planted a salad bar just for them.
I help by encouraging my friends and neighbors with gardens, and taking anything they have that they need to get rid of.
It works along the lines of.....it is better to have a friend with a boat then to own your own.

Due to lack-o-time, I am turning over a portion of the garden to Husband to do with what he will. He’s going to put in scads of asparagus, because we only have a small bed now, and it’s his favorite veggie.
We’ll be adding about 60 crowns, so we’ll have plenty for us and pretty much everyone in our COUNTY in a few years, LOL!
I’ll still grow the tomatoes, peppers, herbs, flowers and chickens. I’ll MAKE time for those! :)
New baby chicks are arriving this week. 50 of them. A mixed bag of brown egg layers and some lah-di-dah “Partridge Couchins” I’m raising for a girlfriend.
When I can figure out a way to raise more than 50 chicks at a time, I’m going big time with specialty breeds. They’ll sell like hotcakes around here.
Nice to see ya, BTW. What did you catch, and how quickly can you ship some to me? LOL!
