I'm always happy when I see a letter from you, Dougster....Glad to hear Sherry is holding her own...Hoping you will soon be able to get out and drive that fine tractor of yours..How's 'she' doing, anyway? Was thinking of y'all today as I heard a tractor doing some sort of work in the neighborhood...Usually hubby will go look if he can't figure out where it's coming from..Didn't today...just can't depend on him to keep up with things while I'm trying to nap! We did quite a bit of stuff in the garden so I had a bit of a lie down after lunch...Actually HE did most of the work...I took a couple of IBU's before I went out...figuring it would keep me going longer..Didn't....Hoping I will get better later as theres quite a bit of stuff getting planted in the garden...Hubby decided he would plant what little he wanted up here behind the house...I decided I would plant some stuff in the garden...He swore he was through down there, wasn't going to do any of it. Well, he feels sorry for me I guess, so is doing as much as ever ! *grin* The fact that HIS 'garden' is doing so poorly might have made him realize he needed a backup... We planted a wire circle of half runner beans and a few French bush beans at their feet....Set out an Orange Sun 'tommy toe,' 2 small type sweet pepper plants, 3 or 4 sprouted sweet potatoes....red and green bush okra......That's all I can remember....The Asparagus is slow to bear this year, and none of the polk salat is up except one little sprig under Johnny's apple tree...I picked it and parboiled it...Added some wild lettuce, plantain, and violet leaves for a little serving...Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for a place where a brush pile was burned...Poke salat LOVES such a place...Oops, rambling here...Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:18:37 -0500 Doug Crim <[email protected]> writes: > Hello Louise, > > Things are pretty quiet here too... of course we don't have the kind > of > wind you describe but we have a lot of wind...
