Was scanning FR and thought I’d ping some of you gardeners/survivors. Interesting article.
Funny, I was working in my veggie garden a few days ago and told my brother whoever invented the hoe was a smart person. What a handy (sp) tool.
Also on the way to town there is an old farmhouse with a stone fence (a long one, must have thousands of rocks) and I commented that some farmer, undoubtedly, plowed these up over many years, and found a use for them. This is why they call my area “Rocky Top.”
All my neighbors in this rural area have huge gardens, firearms and skills to help each other in need. That’s the way it works in rural areas, especially in pioneer days. Neighbors pitched in and helped each other, worked together to get the big jobs done (corn shuckings, barn buildings, etc.).
BTW, thanks to all you who sent prayers for my Mom. I’m still at her house (she is a little better today).
I agree. Working with neighbors is important. I have a few who would band together to get something done. Unfortunately, there are waaaayyyy too many here who are still clueless.
And I have a good start on my own stone wall, though most are too small to be of any use. But there were wheelbarrows full of them in the small space we got ready for the garden. I cringe when I look at the 2 acres left to clean up.
My garden is happy! Lots and lots of rain the last week, and now almost everything has poked its head out. We are tickled pink (or green).
Glad mom is some better. Probably the result of having you there.
