The cukes still are looking worse daily so the fungicide isn’t working.

Something has eaten all the okra. It’s like it was never planted. Disappeared.

Pulled out all the squash because of the svb. Every year I go through this. Enough already. They are officially on the NEVER plant list. Yes, I say that every year but this is it. Simply not worth the effort. In all these years I’ve never gotten a zuke and maybe two yellow on a good year. They’re off my eating list too unless there’s a super duper sale at the grocery store because they’re too expensive.

Speaking of expensive, the nephews are coming in a few weeks and the only vegetable they eat is asparagus. Nope, sorry, asparagus season is over with and I’m not paying $3-4 a pound. They also don’t eat casseroles so no stretching the meat. Meat can’t be combined with anything. The meat? Steak. Of course. Excuse me, but I’m poor so I don’t get to dine on steak. They’re tweens and part hispanic and just last week tried a burrito. Ok, not very PC of me but come on. Besides, next to pizza, burritos are a staple for kids in the Southwest. Oh yeah, pizza only on occassion but no cheese or veggies on it. No fries because those are veggies. I was going to put them to work 15 mintues a day in the garden. Is that really too much to ask? Apparently so because they don’t know what outside is. The parents don’t allow them to play outside. Ya know, I made sure our kids had gardening skills, knew what walking barefoot on the grass feels like, knew how to put a worm on a hook, how to respect a gun and they like all sorts of vegetables. Honestly, I’m looking forward to their stay but, GEEZ, I simply don’t understand people these days.

No, I don’t understand people. Last night, an old a-hat neighbor came by with with a fawn in the back of his pickup looking to find someone to raise it. WHAT?!? The idiot had let his dogs run loose again and they had dragged in the few days old deer. He knows full well we have dogs because he drives by every 3 minutes 24/7/365 because he’s the neighborhood busybody and something might happen that he doesn’t know about. Told him to call Parks and Wildlife as it’s against the law to interfere with wildlife and he’d be arrested if the game warden happened by right then. I came in to call another neighbor (a mile or so away) and found out the dogs had been chasing deer way over by her. No sooner than I hung up the security lights came on and our dogs started barking. Hubby armed himself and went out to see what was up. Well, the moron was climbing in another neighbor’s vehicle claiming he was thinking about buying it. Really? 10 pm, in the dark and you’re checking out a vechicle? People are nuts these days. Ok, sorry, stepping down from the soapbox.
