Greetings from Missouri. A great sunny afternoon here in the 70s and low tonight in the 50s. Weather has been very cool and wet this week. So wet that I haven't been able to transplant anything.

I am still harvesting cherry tomatoes off of Mr. indoor tomato. Basil is ready to harvest again from Mr. 2010 plant in a pot. Lemons are still maturing.

Patio tomato has green tomatoes and peppers have some tiny ones starting. I have been pulling garlic. Some of the garlic did make nice bulbs after all. Some of the bulbs had to be dug out, because the area between stalk and the bulb appeared to be very soft and mushy.

Potatoes are doing well above ground, so we'll see what has happened below. I have lettuce ready to eat. The old spinach seeds didn't germinate, so I'll have to get some new seed to plant.

I have a sour dough bread developing - should be ready to bake at about suppertime. Staying home today. Once went out on Friday the 13th, a little red truck plowed into me while changing lanes. The unpleasant memory is what keeps me in - not really superstitous.

Hubby thought he planted cabbage, but instead he planted cabbage root, looks like a big radish and tastes the same. I made some cream of radish soup today. It was pretty good. Have several other recipes to try.

Hope everyone is doing well and having some good gardening experiences. Have a great weekend. God Bless.

Just letting everybody know I’m still around. With my work schedule, most of my interneting is done while waiting for my sleepy pills to kick in at night, and it’s usually best if I don’t type then! I’ve been reading from work, but i can’t log in there, so I have been keepi9ng up with everything.

Weekends have been busier than workdays lately, so I haven’t had time even then.

There’s good news, though. I got my voice back after being mute for 3 years!!!!!!
I saw a specialist in Cleveland who found that my voicebox was out of alighnment. He wrestled it back in place, and it works!!!!!!

Sleepy pills are kicking in, I better stop now.
