That's so messed up. This is not the new normal. There is nothing normal about this. I'm happy for Teresa that she can now start drawing Social Security.
I hope you won’t go away. I really appreciate those of you who take the time to journal about your farms. I don’t watch much TV or movies, or follow celebrities. I read. And one of my favorite things to read is BYH. You guys are my celebrities!
Not as easy as applying for Medicare I guess? That really wasn't too hard.
We could probably quit picking okra since I am pretty sure we have more than enough for all of the gumbo we could possibly eat but it puts on so fast this time of year that I can't help myself. It's probably not good practice but we have planted our okra in the same rocky bed for four years now and it provides us and a couple of neighbors so evidently okra likes the spot. That bed is shaded by an apple tree until mid morning and I probably pick a 5 gallon bucket full of rocks or more every year but it works. The first picture is what I picked this morning and we get that much or more about every three days and considering I only put in 15 plants I couldn't ask for more. All together we have eleven raised beds in this area and the other two pictures show the bell peppers with the asparagus behind it and the recently sprouted cucumber plants. We are only four or five weeks from our first frost date so we won't get much but should get some.
