Not much progress. Sweet potatoes went in last week, but sudden cool weather all week has them languishing. Lots of weeds bit the big one; then today it shot to 85. These tem swings are abrupt, instead of gradual, so plants...and us...have no time to adapt.

Yesterday I processed 3 of our chicks: 64 days old, and the two in the freezer both weighed in at 7-3/4 pounds, fully dressed. The third was pretty much the same, but went into the roasting pan without being weighed 4, more “the runts”, to go.

Have to replant my carrots; only 4 out of the entire row made it.

We will—or the birds will—get strawberries before next Friday.

I didn’t realize they could get that big in just a couple of months time more or less.
