We have gotten over 40 quarts of snap beans already, the okra has begun to be picked, the purple hull peas & the butter beans will be in next week! I usually spend about 4 hours in the morning in the garden, come home for the heat of the day to put up the fruit of our labor, try to catch up on a little housework, lay down with the 'babies' (one in, one out) for an hour's rest, and head back out in the afternoon to do some more maintenance hoeing.
I have the watermelon patch all nice & cleaned out like I want it, but I am needing some newspaper end rolls from the Daily Journal that would keep the grass out of this patch. I hardly ever leave home because I'm so busy here, (except for Wed. & Sun. church) so if there is anyone who happens to pass by there ever and goes to our church (or would like to visit our church to get it to me :-), I would appreciate someone grabbing me a couple rolls to help me out tremendously! I don't need it this weekend, but would like it soon before it starts growing up. We're also killing chickens two days this next Thursday & Friday if anyone would like to come out to learn this skill or lend a hand. Also, this Thursday is my 40th birthday! I'm glad to be older & 'wiser!'
I'd love not to have to hoe this again while everything else is coming in..
