Randy, did something at the flower show set Ellen off? A Peruvian headache flower...
Mighty long day. Started at 4:30am in the garden shed, cutting up taters, then did a difficult job I had been putting off, namely
cleaning the overgrown strawberries out of the raised garden near my house and then planting snow peas and a mishmash of left over potatoes from last year in there, including a new batch of blue potatoes. It took me longer to dig out those strawberries than it did the whole rest of the job. Talk about rhizomes, wound up having to shovel out every square inch. The "patch" had crept outside of its area, and had taken over half of the rest of the garden, plus sent runners everywhere. Happy plants for sure. Couldn't bear to throw them all out, so I replanted a lot of them up in the other garden, just for variety.
then I ended the day hilling the potato field. Little wet, would be better drier but no wetter than last year this time. Ground is so soft I don't even need a furrow, just push the potato down into the soil. Little Massey ran great, used 4wd though probably didn't have to, but good to run the gears once in a while.
Took a long hot shower when done, hot water felt good on aches. Tomorrow morning is garden club and then rain again in the afternoon, so I was hustling to make some progress today. Done, but I'm tuckered out.
Jay, I think you should just get a small pony. Probably smaller than Brogen...
