On a lighter note, my garden at my house is doing much better than the farmers fields. We're eating broccoli, romaine, and iceberg lettuce this week. Next week the cabbage will be in, and the cauliflower the week after that. I already have small tomatoes and squash, and more strawberries than my 2 girls can eat!
After the heavy rains ruined the garden and turned the tomatoes to mush last year, I made some changes that have really paid off!
I was talking about the field along Singleton that lead into the Navy base. I live in Scenic Hills in Raleigh.
Did you see the news where the lines for food stamps were out of control in Memphis with people looking to replace their food when their power went out?
Where are the Grizzlies, the Memphis Musicians, to do telethons, like the Nashville Country Stars and Titans did. Our governor..oh, he’s in China while half his state looks like the aftermath of Katrina. Ophelia Ford hasn’t been in Millington, which she represents, Shelby Co. Mayor John Ford hasn’t set foot in Millington. Nor has US Rep John Tanner. GOP Senators Corker and Alexander showed up TWO WEEKS after the flood.
FEMA was more timely this time around. Though I’ve not seen them actually do anything but take claims reports.
