Yellow squash still going strong, but that’s about it.
The apples are plentiful; and the peach tree is loaded beyond reason. However, I have my doubts about the peaches, as some are already going from green, straight to brown. Might get some elderberries, if the birds let them ripen.
Dug the last of the carrots & beets today; will get the potatoes (few as they are), the onions, and garlic next weekend.
So glad to have the garden tractor back up & running. The replacement engine is doing its job just fine. Learned a lot from the project that I hope I never have to apply. LOL
And the scrap heap groweth. The worn out Troy that I can’t get transmission parts for, minus the Kohler engine, which I used to replace the blown up Tecumseh that came on the new Troy; said Tecumseh; the blown 2004 Kohler out of the garden tractor; the clutchless, beat up 65 VW; the stove-in galvanized water tank; the worn out 30 gallon DeVilbiss air compressor; several small, worn out irritation pumps; 2 water heaters that don’t; a washer that doesn’t; and an old Servel refrigerator that can’t; lots of other odds & ends. If the garden grew as well, we’d have bumper crops all around.
Next weekend, a Realtor is coming out to discuss listing our 1/4 section to the east of the one we’re living on. If we get a decent price for it, I can give up my day job, and have the time to get the garden back in shape, the way it used to be.
You’ve been busy! Best of luck on the land sale! We have ONE more payment to make and the house and 48 acres are paid for! Yay! (112 acres still on an ag mortgage, but it pays for itself through renting it out.)
Something is up because we keep getting flyers from real estate agents about wanting to buy our property - and that’s never happened before.
I guess it’s a miracle when someone finally has mortgage-free property? There is a REASON to go into retirement with no debt, Duh! ;)
Best of Luck AR!!!
