We had snow on Easter...weird.
Well...Lilred...true to form...bit off way more than she could chew with the garden this year.
Ohhhhh yeah I said in March....I'll plant everything known to man and I'll can everything known to man and I'll have the best garden yet.

Here it is almost June and I dun bout killed myself weedin that dam thing and tillin and plantin....I have burnt 10 times more energy than i'll get out of every plant in there. But by God I got a garden pert near the size of Texas and I can do all my cannin and be set fer winter.
I was down in Georgia this past week...funeral. (Lord it sucks when a young man is killed..he was 20.) I got back and I had the pertiest rows of weeds you ever saw! The dam things grew inches in 4 days I kid you not.

Bein just a LIL bit hardheaded, I'll be dammed iffin that garden is goin to pot after all the work I dun put in it. I was out there this evenin weedin and lo and behold I ran into a nest of seed ticks.
They crawled up my leg like Hitler over Europe and I was in a full bore run to the house and let me tell you...they aint easy to come off either.
Oh well, I reckon it's all werth it tho...I just so happen to have grown 30lb cabbage heads fore...I think I might pull it off again this year
