Texas Spring/Summer Thread

My daughter, Grand daughter, and I were going to Rodeo Houston's Livestock show today. We made it down to OST and 288. We stop always stop there at the quickie mart to make a pit stop before parking and hiking to the tram and riding over to Reliant Center where the livestock show is. But today we called it on the count of rain, heavy rain. I was really wanting to get down there for the Ag Mechanics Project showing. I love the projects these students build and pick up new ideas.

Instead, we came back to Boot Barn in Conroe and I bought my Grand daughter new boots (she outgrew the last pair) and (yes, she wanted it and wouldn't let it go) a pink hat. The boots are pink....................but have a John Deere logo on it. I paid $50 for the two logos and $4.99 for the pink boots. She wore the boots up until bed time. I think I hit a grand slam with the boots and hat!
My daughter loves the boots, as the bottoms are identical to her pink Fat Baby boots!

So you didn't try to replace the logo with a Mahindra emblem?

That's hard to do when you can't stop her to take the logos off, much less off her feet. She'll have to wear pants over the logo, which is in the tops.

Question for any gardeners. Gonna build some raised beds for vegetable garden. Thinking of using 2 x 10's ten feet long. Can cut in half to make 5' width. Everything I've seen on Internet the guess are 4' wide at most. So is 5' too wide? Suggestions appreciated. And where is Dennis?

4' wide or you can't' reach the middle without stepping in it. Use good organic compost. I used 8" x8" x 12" solid cement blocks for my border.
The best garden I ever had was when I connected a solar panel facing due east to a pump at the pond to water each raised bed. I only came up on weekends and each 4X8 garden produced 300 tomatoes.

Rain or shine, my wife woulda gone to see Paisley... She talked me into ACM tickets. Should be fun.
