good morning all.
Rick, your place looks great, lot of work to keep it that nice.
headed downtown this morning to drug store, need to get antibiotics for tick bite, the very last thing I need
is Lymes disease. Spent some time organizing tomatoes on the counter, taking a big bag of veggies to garden club meeting
for lunch, last meeting for summer. Last year the potatoes were up by this time and I brought in baby red potatoes, they sure went over well.
I have one beautiful eggplant to bring in. Would love to see expressions on faces of ladies to see if they want to be the one to snag it.
wow has the weather changed. We go from almost a month of no rain, to a week of constant rain and thunderstorms, weather looks wet every day until middle of next week. Potato field harvest is on the 15th, and we can't harvest if soil is wet. But at least until then, the moisture will sure help the taters grow.
Lot of bugs in the white potatoes, some areas looked pretty nasty. Red potatoes seem more immune, probably why locals who plant potatoes often plant
Red Pontiac. They are the largest in my field. Digging up the $2.89 per pound red new potatoes now. Two weeks later, the larger taters go for .69 a pound.
Ah youth.....
Not going to get much done, need to stay clean this morning, then it will rain this afternoon. I need to clean out the garden shed, still have the "dinner dirty dishes" from the last batch of seedlings, need to organize and put all the trays away. No garden fairies showed up to do it...
