You gotta keep an eye on that one at all times, don’t ya? She is a darling. :)

With my boys, it was like pulling teeth to get any help in the garden. And Husband? He’ll till for me, but then it’s, “See ya at Harvest...and at the dinner table!” LOL!

He just gets in the way, anyway.

This year, he’s supposedly having some big ‘tomato growing competition’ with his youngest brother who has just moved back to our state.

You know, heaven forfend that gardening should be FUN! It’s always competition with those guys. *Har-Upmph* :)

(I’m not sharing my recipe for Manure Tea with them. And of course, they won’t invite ME to compete with them; they know I’d win. *Snicker*)

LOL!!!!! on the “boys”

Hubby was hauling stuff from a house over on Chincoteague to the dump and here to our burn pile this afternoon. One of the things he told me was coming here to the burn pile was some rotten trellis. When he pulled up out back this afternoon I happened to be standing at the door looking out over the field making mental notes of placement. I hollered down to ask him how bad shape was the trellis in and he said some might be salvageable depending on what I wanted it for. One word -— PEAS!!!! Yippee, no tedious chore of stringing the rows out in the cold this year. So I may actually get more than one planting of them in starting in about 2 weeks.
