Tomatoes Planted
Thanks to Suze my tomatoes are in the ground.
I also planted red sweet corn the other day, we will see how that turns out. The garden was tilled (3 times) and ready to go. In one hour after delivery they were in the ground and the cages up. Now if my neighbor can keep his #$%& cows out of my yard. If it wasn't for her I would have had to buy the plants from the store and as we all know they are too small and of the wrong kind. I didn't get to start plants this year due to my wife's health and me being gone half the time. Suze came through for me and I would like to express how thankful I am. Thank you very much Suze.

Blessings on Suze and all other generous gardeners! Good to hear the news, Worth. By the way, have you thought of electrifying the Texas Tomato cages?
P. S. What? No OKRA!!?! |
